[1] Education reform was an area of especial interest to Munford, and one to which she devoted much focus over her life along with colleagues such as Orie Latham Hatcher.

[6] Nevertheless, Munford went on to become a member of the university's Board of Visitors in 1926[4] – the third woman to serve in that role[5] – and after her death a building on campus was christened in her memory.

[1] She saw greater success in convincing the College of William and Mary to open its doors to women in 1918, and in March 1920 she became the first woman to serve on that school's Board of Visitors.

With the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, she began to serve on the board of the Virginia League of Women Voters, and on the local branch in Richmond as well.

[1] Her father's death, during a rally supporting the right of blacks to vote, further informed her view; she felt that he had sacrificed himself to the cause, lending it an air of greater nobility.

[1] With Janie Porter Barrett, she assisted in organizing the Virginia Industrial School for Colored Girls in 1915, serving on its board of trustees.

[1] Munford died in Richmond and was buried at Hollywood Cemetery, where her grave marker pays tribute to her legacy as an education reformer.
