Ella Jordan Home, Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, Presidents

Ms. Todd, an educator in the Escambia County School District for more than 43 years, shares her fondest memories of The Ella Jordan Home which housed many African American clubs. In her words:

Ms. Todd is one of the many women who served her community through club work. This was a focus of Mrs. Ella Jordan, the founder of Pensacola’s Association of Colored Women’s Clubs, who launched the movement to incorporate community clubs to work with women, children and neighborhoods. The Ella Jordan Home held many civic and club gatherings whose focus was to improve the lives of African American families and the African American community in Pensacola, Florida.
