Publisher's Synopsis
"On November 9, 1946, Margaret Rosell Hawkins and Sarah Strickland Scott invited seven of their friends to join them in organizing a new type of inter-city club, initially called the Philadelphia Club. They envisioned a network of many inter-city clubs along the eastern seaboard with a threefold aim- help those who are less fortunate, raise the cultural level of black people, and enjoy the company of friends. This commemorative history book allows us to celebrate our Diamond Anniversary of both the National and Eastern Area Links, Incorporated. This volume is designed to showcase the growth and accomplishments of the administrations of the Eastern Area Directors and of the Sister Links who comprise our current membership of over four thousand"--.
