Sending extra-special 100th birthday wishes to Inez Dickerson Bell! Mrs. Bell was my parents’ neighbor for more than 40 years. The last time I saw her, just before the pandemic, we were at K&W Restaurant, and she slipped me a ten-dollar bill for a little spending change.

Today, her family, friends, and sorors of Delta Sigma Theta will celebrate her long and accomplished life at a gathering at Saint John A.M.E. Zion, the church she has attended all her life. Best wishes, Mrs. Bell!
