Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper memorializes a remarkable figure in accounting history and showcases the power of one individual to impact society. Although Dr. Larzette Golden Hale was the first Black female certified public accountant (CPA) to also earn a Ph.D. in accounting, her influence stretched far beyond these lofty accomplishments. Hale recognized the power and responsibility that educated individuals have to positively impact humankind. She overcame a childhood in an orphanage to impact the lives of countless individuals spanning multiple geographies and across decades. Her impressive life’s work as an accounting educator is even more momentous considering the systemic obstacles to achievement faced by both Blacks and women of the time. Hale’s life was the epitome of one well-lived in service to others and society as a whole, with an impact that is still evident today. JEL Classifications: I23; M41.
本文纪念会计史上一位杰出的人物,并展示了一个人影响社会的力量。虽然Larzette Golden Hale博士是第一位获得会计博士学位的黑人女性注册会计师(CPA),但她的影响远远超出了这些崇高的成就。黑尔认识到受过教育的人有能力和责任对人类产生积极的影响。她克服了在孤儿院的童年,影响了跨越多个地区和几十年的无数人的生活。考虑到当时黑人和女性在取得成就方面所面临的体制障碍,她作为一名会计教育者的令人印象深刻的一生工作就显得更加重要了。黑尔的一生是为他人和整个社会服务的典范,其影响至今仍很明显。JEL分类:I23;M41。
