Delta Sigma Theta Sorority celebrated the 70th anniversary of its Knoxville alumnae chapter Dec. 1 at Mount Calvary Baptist Church. The large crowd in attendance was royally treated to a dynamic speech and delicious food at the reception following the program.

The featured honoree was Beulah Warren Sinclair, who is the last surviving member who helped to organize the sorority here in 1937. She and seven other outstanding young women of the city saw the need for a local chapter and sought a charter from the national organization, which was then 24 years old. It had been established at Howard University in Washington, D.C., Jan. 13, 1913.   more »
