Fay ..continued from page 2
ning from her neighborhood
in Gordonston to the
Yamacraw. Said retired
Savannah State professor Ja
A. Jahannes, Fay “really did
bridge the gap between the
races. She was comfortable
walking in every neighbor
hood, in every community
and talking to all the peo
ple," he said.
Though all her acco
lades show that Fay was
versatile, none of her titles
explain, her dedication, said
Diana Harvey Johnson, a
friend for 40 years.
“Almost everybody
has a paying job. But
Martha Fay's contributions
can't be measured," Harvey
Johnson
said. "She believed that
people should have good
health services. Up until just
recently, she attended the
board meetings. Since when
do you find a person in their
90s getting up for a 7 a.m.
meeting?”
Fay connected commu
nities through dialogue and
understanding. “She was a
coalition builder," said The
Rev. Thurmond Tillman, the
pastor at First African
Baptist Church.
Fay was also a member
of the Savannah Unitarian
Universalist congregation.
The groups she
involved herself with
included lending support to
the building of the
African-American
Monument in Savannah and
“A Celebration of the Civil
Rights Struggle in
Savannah:
50 years."
Fay is the widow of
Richard Fay and has three
children and three grand
children.

The association's events

Interfaith worship service at
Asbury Memorial United
Methodist Church. There
will be a citywide Memorial
Worship Service at 5 p.m.
Jan. 17 at St. Paul C.M.E.
Church, 1601 Barnard St.
“It's a joy to do it. It
takes tremendous teamwork
by the celebration committee
and the board of directors,
"said Carolyn Blackshear,
president of the Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. Observance
Day Association Inc.
Blackshear said she is
excited that Daniels has
agreed to be the business
community breakfast speak

“During this economic
downturn, the business com
munity needs every advan
tage possible to succeed,"
Blackshear said.
Daniels operates a com
pany that provides corporate
training and strategic market
ing services to public and
private agencies. Last year,
she authored, “It Takes
Tenacity, 15 Power moves to
Survive the Wilderness and
Weather the Economic
Storm.”
She is a graduate of
Hampton University and
New York University's
Public Relations Institute.
She is an Adjunct Instructor
at Savannah Technical
College, a mother and wife.
Due to her commitment
to minority business and
cross-cultural alliance build
ing, Daniels has been
described by the
Congressional Black Caucus

thinkers in the world on top
ics of urgent concern to
African Americans.”
As a speaker, Daniels
