City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs Yearbook

The City Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs of Birmingham, Alabama, was an organization dedicated to the social, educational, and civic advancement of African American women in the mid-twentieth century. It was part of a broader movement of Black women’s clubs that emerged in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, advocating for racial uplift, community service, and women’s rights. The Federation provided a platform for African American women to engage in charitable work, educational initiatives, and social reform efforts, particularly in the face of segregation and systemic discrimination.

Throughout its history, the organization supported initiatives such as scholarship programs, community welfare projects, and cultural enrichment activities. The Year Book for 1950-1951 documents the Federation’s leadership, affiliated clubs, and planned activities, reflecting its ongoing commitment to fostering leadership and unity among Black women in Birmingham. Though little documentation of the organization has survived in institutional archives, materials like this publication provide insight into its mission and influence within the local African American community.
