Women of the Westside

Glascor earned a degree in social work from Ohio State University and was the first black person to serve as a supervisor with the Franklin County chapter of the American Red Cross. Later, she was the first black person to be an academic counselor in OSU's College of Education. She was married for 65 years to Judge H. Alfred Glascor, one of the county's first black judges. Together, they were known for supporting community organizations, leading their fraternity and sorority, founding the Second Community Church on the Hilltop, and mentoring countless young attorneys and professionals.

 In 1985, she began writing "Our Pictorial Past" for the Westside Messenger, a column that ran for many years and was loved by so many Hilltop residents. She was an active member of a number of community groups over the years - The Hilltop Business Association, Hilltop Historical Society, Hilltop Community Council, Greater Hilltop Area Commission, Greater Hilltop Community Development Corporation, West High School Alumni Association, and OSU Mother's Club. She received the "Woman of Character" award through the GHCDC in 1997 and was inducted into the West High School Alumni Association Hall of Fame in 2002. 

Nancy Sue Wilson (February 20, 1937 – December 13, 2018) was an American singer whose career spanned over five decades, from the mid-1950s until her retirement in the early 2010s. She was especially notable for her single "(You Don't Know) How Glad I Am" and her version of the standard "Guess Who I Saw Today". Wilson recorded more than 70 albums and won three Grammy Awards for her work. She also ironically grew up on the same street that this mural is located.
