"Lugenia Burns Hope" the social activist and reformer worked to improve Atlanta's African-American communities through education, improved health care, and other social projects.

Explanation:

A social reformer from St. Louis, Missouri, whose Community Union and other civic service groups enhanced African Americans' standard of living in Atlanta, Georgia and emerged as a blueprint for the eventual Civil Rights Movement, she is best known as Lugenia Burns Hope.

She volunteered with numerous causes in her youth, fostering a deep interest in social outreach. She asked nearby residents with the aid of Morehouse peers about their desires for community engagement projects, that ultimately led to the college offering daycare, kindergarten, and recreational services.
