The African American Social Clubs of Yesteryear!"It all started over a pot of stew in the summer of 1927."Eunice Shreeves rang a few friends to come over to her New York home, break bread, and make a few more memories before heading their separate ways for college.
The Harlem Renaissance was at its peak, and these ladies were headed to some of the first schools in the country to open their doors to black Americans (i.e. Howard and Cheyney University).
The women’s social club that blossomed from their dinner party — henceforth known as Girl Friends, Inc. — was just one of many organizations from that era that carved out a space to uplift black communities

Tsianina Redfeather Blackstone (December 13, 1882 – January 10, 1985) was a Muscogee singer, performer, and Native American activist, born in Eufaula, Oklahoma, then within the Muscogee Nation. She was born to Cherokee and Creek parents and stood out from her 9 siblings musically. From 1908 she toured regularly with Charles Wakefield Cadman, a composer and pianist who gave lectures about Native American music that were accompanied by his compositions and her singing. He composed classically based works associated with the Indianist movement. They toured in the United States and Europe.
She collaborated with him and Nelle Richmond Eberhart on the libretto of the opera Shanewis (or "The Robin Woman," 1918), which was based on her semi-autobiographical stories and contemporary issues for Native Americans. It premiered at the Metropolitan Opera. Redfeather sang the title role when the opera was on tour, making her debut when the work was performed in Denver in 1924, and also performing in it in Los Angeles in 1926.
After her performing career, she worked as an activist on Indian education, co-founding the American Indian Education Foundation. She also supported Native American archeology and ethnology, serving on the Board of Managers for the School of American Research founded in Santa Fe by Alice Cunningham Fletcher
