| Summary: | Civic leader Ethel Arnold Bradley was born on February 9, 1919. She married Thomas Bradley in 1941. In 1963, Bradley's husband was elected to the Los Angeles City Council, representing the ethnically diverse 10th District. After two racially-charged runs for mayor, Thomas Bradley became the first African American mayor of Los Angeles in 1973. As Los Angeles' first lady, Ethel Bradley organized women's volunteer corps; was a co-founder of the Black Women's Forum; and worked with organizations such as the YWCA. Bradley's husband died of a heart attack in 1998. In 2006, The Ethel Bradley Early Education and Health Career Center opened in Los Angeles. Unveiled by the Los Angeles Unified School District and envisioned by the co-founders of the Black Women's Forum, this center was designed to provide training, employment and childcare to the community. Ethel Bradley passed away on November 25, 2008, at the age of 89.
