Caption: Adella Hunt Logan, a leading member of the Tuskegee Women's Club, argued on behalf of the National Association of Colored Women that black women should be included in the National Council of Women in the United States.
We shall be better understood and, we trust, more highly esteemed, by the people of other races and nations, if we are given opportunities to work in sympathy with them, rather than be left out of their plans altogether, or at best, made the subject of their[?] missionary endeavors.
Ignorance of each other is at the bottom of the prejudice existing between the races. This ignorance is the natural and direct outcome of separation. There are valuable lessons to be learned by both races by a closer relationship. This is true also of the clubs.
