Historian John Harshaw and members of the Cincinnati Federation of Colored Women talk about one of the oldest African-American women’s organizations in the U.S.
Established in 1904 with a mission to cultivate and educate women; the federation had 40 chapters by the 1950s. The women established day cares, cultural art groups and scholarship awards. They also provided clothes and food for needy families, and volunteers for hospitals and retirement homes. The event will include discussion of efforts to preserve and renovate the federation’s clubhouse, a Samuel Hannaford-designed mansion and registered national historic landmark, at 1010 Chapel Street in Walnut Hills.
