Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Knights of Pythias fraternal organization was founded in 1865. African American men were denied membership and created their own organization in 1880. In Birmingham, Alabama, these Pythians became the cornerstone of an African American business community as well as a source of civic pride and racial solidarity. |
