Across her 103 years, psychologist Olivia J. Hooker (1915-2018) was an inspiration to all around her, as a gifted teacher at Fordham, talented researcher at the Kennedy Child Study Center, role model and leader in her community and country.

Sample of participants included Gail Wright Sirmans, Harold Takooshian, David S. Glenwick, Dolores O. Morrris. The event was organized by Min. Karen Blacks and Harold Takooshian, PhD.
