Founded by Margaret Murray Washington, “the Tuskegee Woman’s Club brought together local organizations and women’s clubs…to work with women in improving their homes by giving advice on basic hygiene and sanitation that they could implement with little cost" (Braff, 2020). Booker T. Washington will essentially co-opt this model from Ms. Washington, without due credit, and bring it to locations across the rural South after he founds the National Negro Business League (NNBL). The NNBL will bring Black business men together to promote Negro Health Week, which provides basic hygiene and sanitation tips for Black people to use in their homes.
