The Northwest African American Museum (NAAM) is helping celebrate Delta Sigma Theta Sorority’s 106 years of public service around the world with an exhibit highlighting some of the accomplishments of Bertha Pitts Campbell and Mona Humphries Bailey.
Though they grew up in different eras, different states, and were from different generations, Campbell and Bailey were driven by the same vision and ideals. These two women also shared many characteristics. Both women were bold, community-oriented activists, and political risk-takers. One founded Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. in 1913 and
the other led the organization sixty-six years later. Their worlds would come together here in Seattle and one of the 22 Founders of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc, Bertha Pitts Campbell and the 17thNational President of the sorority, Mona Humphries Bailey continued impacting local, national and international communities.
The exhibit, which is currently on display in NAAM’s Journey Gallery, will close on March 31, 2019. NAAM is located at 2300 S. Massachusetts Street in Seattle.
