This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a purple silk banner with gold fringe, adorned with the motto of the National Association of Colored Womens Clubs. Dating back to approximately 1924, this banner holds immense significance as it was utilized by the Oklahoma Federation of Colored Womens Clubs. The powerful words "LIFTING / AS / WE CLIMB" are painted in large gold letters, serving as an inspiring reminder of unity and progress. The artistic design on the banner features three interlocking triangles, with the center triangle outlined and filled with two others on either side. This symbolizes strength in unity and highlights the interconnectedness within this influential organization. The scalloped bottom edge adds an elegant touch to this emblematic piece, complemented by its attached length of fringe. As we delve into African American history, this artifact stands as a testament to resilience and determination during a pivotal era in America's past. Preserved at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), it serves as both an educational resource and a celebration of cultural heritage. Through its vibrant colors, intricate lettering, and rich symbolism, this banner encapsulates not only the struggles faced by African American women but also their unwavering commitment towards uplifting themselves while paving the way for future generations. It is a poignant reminder that progress is achieved through collective effort and solidarity within communities striving for equality.
