#DidYouKnow: Druid Hill Avenue neighbors Augusta T. Chissell (1880–1973) and Margaret Briggs Gregory Hawkins (1877–1969) began holding meetings of the Progressive Women’s Suffrage Club in 1915. Also known as the Colored Women’s Suffrage Club, the organization was a vocal and visible advocate for women’s suffrage. Years after the passage of the 19th Amendment, the club would continue to promote this civic duty and teach fellow women about political parties, polling station locations, and more.
