H. H. Leonards

H.H. Leonards is a wife, mother of three, and founder of O Museum in The Mansion in Washington, DC, where Mrs. Rosa Parks, her friends, and business associates lived with her, at no cost, as part of The Mansion and O Museum’s Heroes-In-Residence Program.

O Museum in The Mansion was established February 14, 1980 to provide a safe haven and sanctuary where guests learn from one another and foster the development of diversity, the creative process and the human spirit. The building is a Historic 20th Century Civil Rights Site on The African American Heritage Trail.

Throughout her professional career Mrs. Leonards has focused on making it economically feasible for corporations to leverage their philanthropic contributions for their benefit — and the benefit of society. She has tirelessly worked to encourage companies and individuals to translate their personal visions into a mission of service. As a consultant to Ogilvy & Mather, she helped them create (and make real) cause-related marketing for their clients.

A staunch advocate of social justice through music and storytelling, she is Co-Founder of 51StepsToFreedom.org a non-profit organization that is developing a city wide trail that traces America’s struggle for equality and freedom.
