African-American Women within the WCTU, abstract
Why Did African-American Women Join the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union between 1880 to
1900?
Abstract
The Woman's Christian Temperance Union was one of the first national
women's reform organizations that welcomed the reform efforts of middle-class
African-American women. This project explores the achievements of African-
American women through the Union's Colored Department between 1880 and 1900
and the tensions that emerged in an era which saw declining opportunities for
interracial work.
