Arkansas-born social activist and author. Born Daisy Lee Gatson, she married L. Christopher Bates, publisher of the Arkansas State Press, in 1942.

Mrs. Bates became the advisor to the Little Rock Nine, the first group to integrate Central High School in 1957. Following the writing of her memoirs in 1960, Mrs. Bates worked for the Democratic National Committee in Washington, D.C. and, in 1968, moved to Mitchellville (Desha County) Arkansas where she helped organize the Mitchellville Office of Economic Opportunity Self-Help Project.
