In 1922, seven young educators came together to form a sorority with the goal of uplifting themselves as professional women and their local community at the height of the Ku Klux Klan's popularity in Indiana. Greater Than Ourselves: The Legacy of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated tells the story of how these Black women schoolteachers established one of the nation's premier social service organizations in America's heartland, during one of the most tumultuous periods for race relations in American history.
