As a member of the prominent Inman family and wife of Mayor Ivan Allen Jr., Louise\n\n\t\t\t\t\tRichardson Allen used her influence to support numerous educational and cultural\norganizations across Atlanta. An avid gardener and lover of history, Allen helped to found the Georgia\nTrust for Historic Preservation, the Cherokee Garden Library, and the Atlanta Botanical Garden.\nShe later facilitated the creation of a history museum, the Atlanta History Center, in her home\nneighborhood of Buckhead.\n

\n\t\t\t\t\tAllen turned her efforts towards Oakland Cemetery in the early 1970s. The neglected cemetery presented a landscape of collapsed monuments, weed-choked lots, and broken brick paths. In 1976, Allen\nand several other “friends of Oakland” founded the Historic Oakland Foundation to preserve, restore,\nenhance, and share the cemetery with the people of Atlanta. Allen rests on Oakland’s East Hill near her\nson and husband, two other Oakland Cemetery supporters. The Historic Oakland Foundation continues to support the cemetery’s preservation and provides its visitors with new educational experiences.

Rhoda Kaufman was one of Georgia’s most vocal activists in the early 20th century. As a\nyoung woman, Kaufman led campaigns to fund training schools for girls and provide aid for\nindividuals with cognitive disabilities in Atlanta. In 1920, Kaufman joined the newly formed Georgia\n\n\t\t\t\t\tBoard of Public Welfare (GBPW) and her reforms spread statewide.\n

\n\t\t\t\t\tKaufman was quickly promoted to Executive Secretary of the GBPW and became one of three women\nin the nation to hold such a high position. Many GBPW programs supported families, immigrants, and\npeople of color. The Ku Klux Klan reacted to these programs by attacking Kaufman, a Jewish woman,\nin an anti-Semitic letter that railed against government interference. Kaufman resigned in 1929 to protect the GBPW, but the Klan’s efforts backfired. The legislature voted to increase funding for welfare,\nwhich helped fund recovery efforts during the Great Depression.\n

\n\t\t\t\t\tToday, the Georgia Department of Human Services (formerly the GBPW) continues to deliver social\nservices to Georgians. Through her dedication to aiding others, Rhoda Kaufman continues to inspire\ntoday’s activists to fight for social change.

Recognizing that art should be available to\neveryone, Boyd and several club members formed the Atlanta Art Association in 1905. As\npresident, Boyd oversaw the association’s wildly successful first exhibition.

\n\n\t\t\t\t\tSeeking to expand the organization, Boyd created Atlanta’s first art school and advocated\nfor a permanent exhibition venue. This vision was fulfilled in 1926 when Harriet Harwell\nWilson High donated her Peachtree Street property to the Atlanta Art Association to be\nused as a museum. Today, more than 400,000 annual visitors enjoy the High Museum’s\nexhibits and programs. As one of the country’s leading art museums, the High Museum\nensures Atlanta’s position as a center for culture and art education.

A vocal advocate for women’s rights, Rebecca Douglas Lowe organized the Atlanta Woman’s\nClub (AWC) in 1895. Regarded as one of the oldest woman’s organizations in Atlanta, the\nAWC provided opportunities for women to influence social change at a time when they were denied\nsuffrage and equality. Lowe challenged the pay gap between male and female educators, lobbied for\nfree youth education, and proposed women’s unions for better working conditions in Atlanta’s textile\nfactories. In 1896, she organized 17 clubs into the Georgia Federation of Women’s Clubs. Lowe\nserved as the organization’s first president and was later elected president of the General Federation of\nWomen’s Clubs, a post she held from 1898 to 1902.\n

\n\t\t\t\t\tRebecca Douglas Lowe inspired thousands of women to work to better their communities through\nservice, however, both the AWC and the Georgia Federation of Women’s Clubs excluded women of\ncolor from their message and membership in the early 20th century. Today, both organizations invoke\ngreater inclusivity, engage in charitable services, and continue to empower Georgia women of all races,\nbackgrounds, and creeds.
