Born February 22, 1923 in Yazoo City Mississippi, Adlean Harris was raised by her maternalgrandmother, Jennie Stewart. She married at age twenty-one and moved to Chicago shortly after with herhusband. Adlean Harris went to work at an ice cream cone factory packing ice cream cones. She separatedfrom her husband in 1952. Harris then went to work at the Safety Glove factory in the MiscellaneousDepartment.

Harris described herself as “a late bloomer” in regards to her education. At age forty-three she took andpassed a GED test. She then enrolled at Kennedy King City College and graduated with an AssociateDegree in Library Science. She continued her education at Governor State University, earning a Bachelorof Arts degree in Ethnic Studies in 1972. While at Governor State University, Harris was offered aposition as Reference Librarian with the stipulation that she would complete her Masters of LibraryScience degree by 1974.

The group was known as the Harsh Researchers, a name given by Robert Miller.In March 1990 the group had to change its name because it was against the policy of the library to beinvolved in the collection of money the group collected at events.

In June1991 the group presented a mini-workshop coordinated by Adlean Harris on “Genealogy Research at theLibrary” at the Carter G. Woodson Library.
