Gertrude (Johnson) Peoples, John D. "Sonny" Peoples, and their daughter Carol (now Carol Peoples-Procter), stand outside their home on the 1200 block of East 25th Street. Gertrude Johnson Peoples is the founder of the country's first academic-support office for college student athletes. She is also the first female athletic recruiter for a major university (University of Washington). In March 2012, at the Northwest African American Museum, she and her daughter, Carol Peoples Proctor, president of the Black Heritage Society, were among those honored as Greater Seattle Freedom Sisters by the Smithsonian and the Ford Motor Company.
