A Tribute
Il DO heart"
BY MARIE BOYKIN

I like to think of Mary
Church Terrell when I first
saw her in the vigor of full
maturity mature, physically,
spiritually and intellectually.
In the teens of the 10th
Century Mary Church stood
almost alone among women;
certainly there was no other
woman in our group who had
had the opportunity of her
special education at home and
abroad and who was able at
home to give to the race and
community the benefit of her
very fine personality and at
tainments.
She was admirably fitted to
be the wife of a judge, and
scentillate beside him. Daugh-
ter of a politician, sister of
a politician she it was who
was the statesman of the
family.
Mary Church Terrell had
personality, plus. Her graci-
business enabled he to get
along with ambitions and
jealous women without fric-
ton or feud When she was
on the lecture platform, one
must needs admire her beau
tiful gowns, the grace with
which she wore clifton and
velvet.
Alice Ruth Moore Dunbar
Nelson and Mary Church Ter
rell were the jewels of the
great women of our day. No
woman need be jealous of
their intellectual abilities. The
cause of woman hood has
been enhanced because of
such women, who were stars
in our armament.
America was honored by
their contributions of writing
and lecturing. We who follow
have something to go after,
their work was more than
glitter. We are uplifted be-
cause such women lived.
