“The National Housewives’ League seeks to reveal to Negro womanhood the possibilities of self-help; to increase employment for our group by throwing our combined purchasing power behind Negro business and professional men and women; to endeavor by sympathetic understanding to encourage many in business to improve their businesses, and to instill in our youth the fact that all work well done is honorable. We have definitely established these objectives as the aims and purposes of the Housewives’ League and believe that in pursuit of attainment we shall find sufficient scope for all our efforts along these lines.”
Excerpt from an article that appeared in the January 1933 issue of “The Negro Market” written by Mrs. Fannie B. Peck, President of the National Housewives’ League of America.
