Biographical or Historical Information

Marvin Lee was born on July 26th, 1921. He was a graduate of Randolph Macon College and shortly thereafter he joined the United States Navy, where he rose to the rank of officer. During his lifetime, Lee also received a Ph.D. in Urban Services. This went along well with his life's work spent in this type of department.

For some time in the 1980s, Marvin Lee taught at Old Dominion University in the subject of Public Affairs. It was around this time that Lee became certified by the NAHRO as a Public Housing Manager, rising in the ranks of the Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority (NRHA), which he served as manager after Lawrence M. Cox.

Marvin Lee is the author of a number of publications and dissertations which can be found within this collection and in the thesis section at Old Dominion University.
