At the time, her family was one of the first Black homeowners in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We knew that they were prejudiced. People didn&#8217;t want us in the block,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>She recalls an unforgettable moment in elementary school when a White classmate cut off her hair.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She took that pair of scissors and cut off the plaits my mother had put on my head. I&#8217;ll never forget that,&#8221; Turner said.<\/p>\n<p>Since childhood, Turner has witnessed some of the most pivotal events in Black history. The same year Jackie Robinson broke Major League Baseball&#8217;s color barrier, she graduated from Cheyney Teachers College, now known as Cheyney University of Pennsylvania. Two years later, she earned a master&#8217;s degree from Howard University.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" alt=\"23pkg-as-bhm-100-yr-old-bridge-player-transfer-frame-511.jpg \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/27\/0fb784f0-b157-41ef-940a-a03a082ce51b\/thumbnail\/620x349\/3652497623fc5ee8f933ef4317cc4f7f\/23pkg-as-bhm-100-yr-old-bridge-player-transfer-frame-511.jpg?v=8de240724d7f6d8b5f54f62bb158c012 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/27\/0fb784f0-b157-41ef-940a-a03a082ce51b\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/974a086a85112a91c1c51a36644dc6e0\/23pkg-as-bhm-100-yr-old-bridge-player-transfer-frame-511.jpg?v=8de240724d7f6d8b5f54f62bb158c012 2x\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                CBS News Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As the Civil Rights Movement unfolded, she was in the classroom, teaching her students about it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think Black history should not just be for February,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Turner dedicated 36 years to the School District of Philadelphia and has been an active member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. for over 70 years. Many members of the sorority consider her a mother figure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have many daughters!&#8221; she said about her fellow sorority members.<\/p>\n<p>These days, retirement has been good to her. She enjoys a competitive game of bridge to keep her mind sharp or can often be found at the piano, brushing up on her skills.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You go through life doing what you like to do. And most of all, I thank God for my blessings, my many blessings,&#8221; Turner said.<\/p>\n<p>And that, she says, is the secret to a long and happy life.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/philadelphia\/search\/author\/aziza-shuler\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Aziza Shuler<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/philadelphia\/search\/author\/aziza-shuler\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n              <span class=\"img \"><img alt=\"aziza-shuler-web-headshot-1024x576.jpg \" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2022\/10\/18\/838f75e7-80e7-4783-92c1-59c44e78d26c\/thumbnail\/80x80\/1b36090e201fdf93c78721504b686a22\/aziza-shuler-web-headshot-1024x576.jpg?v=8de240724d7f6d8b5f54f62bb158c012 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2022\/10\/18\/838f75e7-80e7-4783-92c1-59c44e78d26c\/thumbnail\/160x160\/f5a501f8620842d7ac19ba636efcb670\/aziza-shuler-web-headshot-1024x576.jpg?v=8de240724d7f6d8b5f54f62bb158c012 2x\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n            <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Aziza Shuler is an Emmy\u00ae award-winning journalist.
