About the Institution
Olive-Harvey College began its service to residents of the South Side in the late 1950s with the opening of the Fenger and Southeast campuses of the City Colleges of Chicago. These two campuses were consolidated and renamed Olive-Harvey College in 1970. The college moved to nine buildings located at its present site at Woodlawn Avenue and 101st Street pending the construction of a new building. The college is named in honor of two Chicagoans who lost their lives in Vietnam while on duty with the United States armed forces: Milton Lee Olive, III, paratrooper, and Carmel Bernon Harvey, Jr., infantryman. Both were posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Milton Lee Olive, III
(1946 ? 1965)
While participating in a Search and Destroy operation in the vicinity of Phu Coung on October 22, 1965, Private First Class Milton Lee Olive, III, without hesitation, saved the lives of fellow Soldiers by falling on a live grenade and absorbing the shock of the blast with his body. Olive was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor by President Lyndon Johnson. He was the third United States service- man to be awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism in Vietnam.
