Rudean Leinaeng
Born and raised in New York City, Rudean Leinaeng
received a BA degree in Chemistry from Hunter College and an MS from New York University. She was a professor at Bronx Community College where she taught for 30 years. During the 1970s, Leinaeng lived in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania for two years with her super talented sons Lyle and Thomas. After participating in the struggle for a free South Africa during the 1980s as a member of Women for Racial and Economic Equality, she and her husband Pule Leinaeng, an African National Congress
activist, took up residence in Bloemfontein, South Africa. In 2002, she co-produced the acclaimed documentary film, Twelve Disciples of Nelson Mandela
, which her son Thomas Allen Harris produced and directed. The film centers on her husband and his young comrades who, in 1960, were the first group to leave Bloemfontein and go into exile. In 2012, she was inducted into the Hunter College Hall of Fame for her activism and leadership.
