Dorothy Lee Thomas Hollingsworth was born on October 29, 1920, in Bishopville, South Carolina. Dorothy was the oldest of three children. Her sister died at 14 of pneumonia and her brother died from injuries sustained in World War II. Dorothy once said she always knew she wanted to help people—a desire that grew after learning about social work as a career at an eighth-grade job fair. After graduating from Atkins High School, a missionary from the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church encouraged Dorothy to further her education. She was accepted at Paine College in Augusta, Georgia, and was granted a scholarship from the missionaries. Dorothy continued her education and graduated from an HBCU in 1941, with degrees in social science and education, and was immediately hired as a third-grade teacher.
In 1946, Dorothy and her husband moved to Seattle, WA. The couple sought a new beginning in the hope of escaping the hardships of the South that came with repressive Jim Crow laws and racial segregation. A lifelong learner, Dorothy enrolled at the University of Washington, and in 1959 she received her master’s degree from the School of Social Work. After graduating, she became a social worker for Seattle Public Schools.
In the early 1960s, Dorothy became involved in the local civil rights movement, protesting restrictive covenants, fighting for equitable education, and open housing initiatives throughout the city. In 1965, she was selected as the Director of Head Start, a program that was part of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society’s national anti-poverty initiative—the first in Washington State. Dorothy then became the first African American woman to be elected to the Seattle School Board, becoming board president in 1979. Dorothy served a six-year term helping to guide the city through racial tensions that escalated with the desegregation of schools.
We Celebrate Dorothy Hollingsworth for helping the Seattle, WA community to be more inclusive and equity-minded.

The Arabian Nights is a full-length drama adapted for the stage by Mary Zimmerman from Powys Mather’s translation of The Book of Thousand Nights and One Night. Passionate, playful, provocative storytelling, The Arabian Nights examines the fascinating tale of Scheherazade. In the wake of discovering his queens infidelity cruel King Shahryar has soured on all womankind. Then theres no one left but clever Scheherazade. Can her 1001 cliffhanger stories keep her alive?
The Arabian Nights tells the tale of Scheherezades nightly telling of evocative tales. 1001 nights later the storyteller and listener are forever changed. A twelve-member cast enacts Scheherazade’s tales of love, lust, comedy, and dreams. Scheherazade’s cliffhanger stories prevent her husband, the cruel ruler Shahryar, from murdering her, and after 1,001 nights, Shahryar is cured of his madness, and Scheherazade returns to her family. This adaptation offers a wonderful blend of the lesser-known tales from Arabian Nights with the recurring theme of how the magic of storytelling holds the power to change people. The final scene brings the audience back to a modern day Baghdad with the wail of air raid sirens threatening the rich culture and history that are embodied by these tales.
Lady Phin’s looking to return to NWAC Championship Playoffs this season.
After making its first Northwest Athletic Conference (NWAC) playoff appearance in over 20 years, women’s basketball is eager to improve on last season’s results. With most of last year’s starting five back, the Lady Dolphins are hoping for an even better season this year. Heading up the roster is dominant floor general Aloha Akaka, utility forwards Gracing Browning and Katelyn Altaha, and Symone Pease posting up in the paint. In addition, injured last year, Leiah Naeata returns, adding tremendous depth to the offense. Rounding out the Dolphins are newcomers Taylor Eldridge, Moemannogi Notoa, Mahrysa Thomas, Nevaeh Williams, Maddi Lee, and Trista Dammal. Following their win over Bellevue College on Saturday, the Lady Dolphins lead the Northern Region.
