In 1895, Mary Terrell became a Washington, D. C. School Board member. In 1896, she was a charter member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Women. In 1890 she joined the ony-year-old National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. She organized and led Washington campaigns for women’s rights and fight to integrate Washington restaurants and organized Delta Sigma Theta Sorority in 1913.
She was often sent .as the U. S. delegate to international conferences. At the international Council of Women at Berlin, she astounded her audience by giving her speech in German, English and French. In 1953 at the age of eighty-nine, Mary Terrell lost a court case that found that segregation was valid. In 1954 she died in Annapolis, but not until a few months after the Supreme Court’s decision making discrimination by race illegal.
