Jacqueline Holland, a longtime educator and champion of African-American history preservation, died Wednesday. She was 81. Holland was a founding member of the African-American Historical Society, which operated for 13 years before disbanding in 2000. The society made contributions to several civic and educational groups, including the Rockland Negro Scholarship Fund, and was responsible for the donation of hundreds of books on black history to the Rockland Community College library. And her passion for history wasn’t just for the benefit of the county’s African-American community. It was for all of Rockland’s residents to learn. Holland, who received a doctorate in education from Fordham University, was the principal of Tappan Zee Elementary School in Piermont from 1973 to 1981 and was on Rockland Community College’s board of trustees from 1979 to 1997. She was chairwoman of the board from 1990 to 1992. Holland, a longtime resident of Tappan, suffered a stroke in 2004, her son said, and had lived in a Suffern nursing home since then. Holland was honored by the county in 2005 as an inductee to the Rockland County Civil Rights Hall of Fame. Her husband, Albert Holland, died in 1993.

The American Indian College Fund (the Fund) has released a new five-minute documentary video describing how the Fund improves the lives of American Indian college students attending tribal colleges and universities. The Fund, along with its longtime Portland, Oregon-based advertising agency partner, Wieden+Kennedy, traveled to Indian country to record Native students telling their powerful stories. A team of professional cinematographers, photographers, and sound engineers toured tribal colleges and universities and attended graduation ceremonies. As the cameras rolled, students, elders, tribal college presidents, and community members described the miracles that cultural-based education through tribal colleges is producing for people of all ages. Richard B. Williams, the Fund president and CEO, says “The American Indian College Fund video is a unique opportunity to see a very important part of Indian country. We are educating the mind and the spirit, and this it is captured in the video.” The Denver-based American Indian College Fund is the nation’s largest provider of private scholarships for American Indian students, providing 5000 scholarships annually for students seeking to better their lives and communities through education.
