A zoom link will be provided in this week’s newsletter.

A Right Worthy Woman by Ruth Watson Maggie Lena Walker was ambitious and unafraid. Her childhood in 19th-century Virginia helping her mother with her laundry service opened her eyes to the overwhelming discrepancy between the Black residents and her mother’s affluent white clients. She vowed to not only secure the same kind of home and finery for herself, but she would also help others in her community achieve the same. With her single-minded determination, Maggie buckled down and went from schoolteacher to secretary-treasurer of the Independent Order of St. Luke, founder of a newspaper, a bank, and a department store where Black customers were treated with respect. With the help of influential friends like W.E.B. DuBois and Mary McLeod, she revolutionized Richmond in ways that are still felt today. This historical novel will be discussed on January 14. There are 2 paper copies in the UWFaith library and one at Mesa Public library. A book on CD copy hopefully will be available for a short time through Interlibrary loan. Contact Sheila Enemark if you are interested in using it.
