National Chicken Lady Day celebrates Dr. Marthenia "Tina" Dupree, who is known as "The Chicken Lady". For twelve years she worked at one of the largest chicken restaurants in the world as their Director of Community Relations and Training. Because of her community involvement and dedication to raising educational standards, she was invited to meet with President Bush in 2001, in the Oval Office. Although President Bush did not declare it "National Chicken Lady Day", Dupree's efforts to advocate for education helped to bring about the day.
