“…we are women, American women, as intensely interested in all that pertains to us as such as all other American women; we are not alienating or withdrawing, we are only coming to the front, willing to join any others in the same work and welcoming any others to join us.”

Green is the new Black!
Educated Women Cultivating Their Community Through Service
FEDERATION 102
Complexions of ebony, brown, golden and fair
Shades of black, honey blonde, red and gray hair
Eyes of Wisdom and hearts of gold
Club sisters reuniting young and old
Surviving the trials and tribulations of racism
Breaking down the barriers of sexism
Rising from the labels and myths of shame
Creating new visions and clearing our name
Attacking bigots and sexist, setting them straight
Taking women and children under their wings to educate
Faces flawless and hair in place
Upholding, encouraging and guiding our race
Strong sisters, Lifting as They Climb
Dressing to impress and getting better with time
Backing down from nothing, demanding what they deserve
Women cultivating their community through service
Changing the 19th and claiming the 21st century
Amazed in their presence and Air of Royalty
