Major Milestone in Road to Better

ter in the housing history of Negro wom-

looking spirit of Negro womanhood" Mrs
Miller is the daughter of parents who GEN.
tury ago made their daring escape from
slavery in Maryland to freedom in Canada
Now in her eightieth year, she resides in

While the new club will have a firm
foundation in the past, it's founders believe
that the design will create new approach
in the field of housing for single women
To-day, as never before in our history, Ne
gro women are entering every conceivable
business, profession, industry and art" Mr.
Woodbeck declared. each year sees these
women becoming doctors and dancers, skill
