The Alden lunch room and other civic efforts
The Inter national Sunshine Society opened The Alden a lunch room for working girls in Memphis funded by business leaders with self service, low prices, and a small library on a separate floor. A heroic nurse James O’Brien from Rockmart Ga tends a smallpox patient, while discussions cover arts parentage and a southern leaders’ view at the Winnie Davis memorial and women's legal leagues. The Osden movement and southern reception of northern educators in Athens emphasize uplift through education, training, and race relations.
