Remembering Daisy Lampkin's Impact on Social Justice

Only one of the features above mentions a Black woman, so let’s talk about Daisy Lampkin.She came to Pittsburgh in 1909 with a passion for social justice, and as a member of the Lucy Stone League, she brought the suffrage movement to Black women through tea parties and community speeches.

She later served as president of the National Association of Colored Women, the first woman on the board of the NAACP, and other civil rights organizations. She also had an impact on Black journalism as vice president of the Pittsburgh Courier Publishing Company.
