November 2019 Group Watch: Ella Bell Passes
Ella Bell, who served on the Alabama Board of Education for 19 years, died on November 3. Ms. Bell was a champion for numerous causes in Montgomery and throughout her district in the Blackbelt, one of the poorest areas of the state. She was passionate about children and improving access to opportunity for all. Governor Kay Ivey ordered flags to be flown at half-staff to honor Ms. Bell. She was a friend to the Bloom Group and will be missed.
