In today's episode, we'll be in conversation with members of Ypsilanti's Palm Leaf Club. The Palm Leaf Club was formed on October 30th, 1904 as the Trustee Helpers of Brown Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church and changed its name to the Palm Leaf Club in the 1930s when it officially separated from the church and became its own civic and social African American women's organization, the only organization of its kind in Ypsilanti. It is a member organization of the Ypsilanti Association of Women’s Clubs, Michigan State Association of Colored Women’s Clubs and the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. Legend has it that the name comes from the Palm Sunday Scholarship Teas. Dr. Dyann Logwood, who was on our previous episode in February 2021, was an awardee of the Palm Leaf Club Scholarship.
