Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is ensuring that the legacy of one of its 22 trailblazing founders, Osceola Macarthy Adams, continues to inspire future generations. The esteemed actress, educator, and activist will be honored with a historical marker in her hometown of Albany, Georgia, recognizing her contributions to the arts, education, and social justice.⁠
⁠
Born on June 13, 1890, Macarthy Adams grew up in Albany on an estate at South Jackson Street and West Highland Avenue before pursuing higher education at Howard University. It was there, on January 13, 1913, that she and 21 other visionary women founded Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Just two months later, Macarthy Adams was among the 50 Black women who boldly participated in the Women’s Suffrage Parade in Washington, D.C., advocating for the voting rights of women—particularly Black women—who were often excluded from the movement.⁠
⁠
A true Renaissance woman, Osceola Macarthy Adams paved the way for Black women across sectors. With this historical marker, her story will continue to inspire future generations to break barriers and create change—just as she did over a century ago.⁠
