1t is hopeful sign that the colored
women of the United States have or
ganized a society of their own, the Ma
tional Federation Of Afro-Amcrican
Women. The colored women of this
country work harder and more steadily
than colored men do, and they do not
get the recognition they should from
their white sisters.
