Overview and metadata sections

Like the other local YWCA groups, the YWCA of Germantown is a membership organization organizing the Women's Christian Association to provide training and assistance "for the temporal, moral and religious welfare of women, especially young women, who are dependent upon their own exertions for support."

In the fall of 1917, the plan of organizing a branch of the Germantown YWCA for African American women and girls was first formulated in midst of World War I. A group of white women interested in African studies became concerned about the needs of the black community in Germantown. They formed a committee, raising enough money to pay a secretary who, in turn, gathered over 1,000 memberships to start the Branch. An office building in central Germantown (6128 Germantown Avenue) was bought (the central building was at 5820 Germantown Ave.) and in 1918 the "Branch for Colored Girls and Women" opened.

The Germantown YWCA had its own Committee of Management and its own paid director, although the branch was to submit monthly reports to the Board of Directors of the central YWCA. The director was from the beginning an African American woman, as was the chairperson of the Committee of Management after the first 5 years. As the chairperson of this committee, she became a member of the Board of Directors of the main YWCA and also the first African American woman on the Board. As the Germantown YWCA grew in membership, its staff and program grew as well.

Although the programs at the Germantown YWCA were based chiefly on the needs of the African American community, the organization worked enthusiastically in furthering race relations. During the 1920s and 1930s there was a committee on race relations which sponsored many special events. These included the celebration of "Negro Achievement Week" in March 1928, an art display of painting and prints by African American artists in 1935, and a number of interracial tea parties throughout the 1930s. They also helped form a community committee, the "Interracial Committee of Germantown," which consisted of business people, interested community leaders, and other branch organizations of YWCA.

By the 1940s the integration in the YWCA was undertaken, so that "the purpose of the YWCA be recognized as involving the inclusion of Negroes in the mainstream of Association life and that such inclusion be adopted as a conscious goal." The goal of the integration was decided on that spring and the first step, after discussion by the membership and a vote by the board, was the opening of all programs to all women regardless of color, as "the community patterns do not require such separation." All offices of the program and staff from the 6128 building were moved to the 5820 building in 1947. The staff from both buildings were unified and the program was streamlined; the 6128 and the 5820 committees worked jointly on programs to serve the entire community.

The materials in this collection include records documenting the history of the YWCA of Germantown, including activities, administration, financial records, photographs, and special events.
