DescriptionIn the early 1900’s, at the peak of the women’s club movements, women’s activism and the impending World War, Black women were engaging in international dialogues—conversing with women in other nations about how the race needed to come together, speaking at international conferences, and traveling to understand other nations' social and political systems. Activist Addie Waites Hunton dedicated her life to transnational activism through membership, leadership and service in women’s organizations ranging from the Young Women’s Christian Association, the International Council for Women of the Darker Races to the Women’s International League of Peace and Freedom. Throughout Addie Hunton’s life, her activism shifted between an American lens to a transnational lens, with emphasis on respectability, racial equality and virtue.
