Portia Washington Pittman, 1883-1978, was the oldest and only daughter of Booker T. Washington. She had become an accomplished pianist by age 10 and completed her college degree in music at Bradford Academy in Massachusetts. October 1907, she married architect William Sydney Pittman, and settled with him in Fairmount Heights, Prince George’s County, Maryland. The Pittman family moved to Dallas Texas in 1913, and Portia began teaching music in a Dallas high school named for her father. After retirement, she devoted herself to recognition of her father’s place in history, and died in Washington, D.C., in 1978
