Nellie Craig Walker (1881–1969) was a school teacher and business owner, and was the first African-American student to graduate from Miami University.[1]
Walker was born Nellie Craig in Oxford, Ohio in 1881, the daughter of Jessie Craig and Susan Ross Craig, and the youngest of four children.[1][2] She attended the Ohio State Normal School (which later became part of Miami University), and graduated in 1905, one of a class of twenty women enrolled in the teacher's program.[1] She was a student-teacher in the racially mixed classroom in the Oxford Public School system.[3][2] She was the first Black student to graduate from Miami University, and taught in Indiana after graduating.[1]
Nellie Craig was married to James Walker in 1911, and the two moved to Cleveland.[1] They had four children. James Walker ran a tire company in Cleveland; when he died after 16 years of marriage, Nellie took over management of the business.[4] She died in 1969.[1]
Miami University renamed the former Campus Avenue Building as Nellie Craig Walker Hall in her honor in 2020.[3][1]
