L. Claudia Allen spent 48 years as an educator. She was an elementary school
teacher, assistant principal, county supervisor and coordinator of migrant
services. Allen founded Orlando's first black Cub Scouts pack and Boy Scouts
Troop in 1938, in addition to the first black Girl Scouts Troop #87 in 1940. Her
passion for children expanded into organizing the Orlando Council for Retarded
Children. In 1957 she worked tirelessly to build a school for retarded blacks
and her dream was achieved in 1964 with opening of a school. She served as a
dedicated member of the Board of Directors of the American Red Cross in
1960-1972, and opened a school for the severely mentally challenged children on
West Cypress Street in 1964.

The L. Claudia Allen Senior Center was
built in 1980, four years after her death. On February 24, 1984, the City of
Orlando dedicated the Washington Shores building in her memory and in
celebration of her life, dedicated to children and the black community of
Orlando.
