Following Amy Johnson Crow's 52 Weeks of Ancestors themes, the US Black Heritage Project will be featuring and working on two of our notables each week who fit that theme.


Ethel (Hedgeman) Lyle (cc7=1) was an educator and a Founder of the Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA) Sorority at Howard University, the first sorority founded by African-American women.


Garnett Russell Waller (cc7=122) was a pastor and one of the 29 founding members of the Niagara Movement

During this week you can help us with any of the following?

  • Ethel's profile is brand new. Can you add family, expand her biography, or add more sources?
  • Expand the biography for Garnett
  • Add additional categories and stickers that might apply to both profiles.
  • Make sure all the attached family for both who should have the {{African-American Sticker}} have it on their profiles.
