This canteen unit, with the aid of the men in group, voluntarily undertook the establishment of a center for the wounded of their race in the storm of April 21, 1920, and at Lincoln School, Meridian, not only nursed, but fed and clothed scores of the storm-victims. Their leader, Nettie Majors, is not included in the group as she answered the first call for Red Cross help and with a group of white workers from the Lauderdale County Chapter A.R.C. went to Philadelphia to give needed aid there. In addition to the splendid work at Lincoln Center, the members of this Red Cross Unit of negro women served in many capacities at the Matty Herse (Charity) Hospital in Meridian.
