Virginia Coffey (1904–2003), was an American social reformer and civil rights activist who worked for improved race relations in and around Cincinnati, Ohio.
The family moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan, when Virginia was four years old in order to ensure that she would attend an integrated school.
She sought to leave the city, because of the segregation she saw, but was encouraged to stay and join the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by Ted Berry.
[1] Virginia advised several industrial cities in the UK in 1963, helping them to manage community tensions caused by large numbers of immigrants from the West Indies.
Virginia was on the board of the Hamilton County Welfare Department, as well as the president's council of Xavier University.
