E. Alice Taylor (1892–January 1, 1986, age 94) was an African-American entrepreneur, teacher, and community organizer who was an officer and board member of the Boston, Massachusetts NAACP for 50 years.[1] In 1927 she founded a branch of Annie Malone's Poro School and Beauty Shoppe, which she ran for 15 years, until it was closed at the start of World War II.[1] The school had grown to become one of New England's largest minority-owned businesses, with a staff of 15 teaching 150 students each year. She was a member of numerous community service organizations.[1]
