[1][2] Born during the Civil War, she earned her teaching credentials at Atlanta University, an historically black college founded by the American Missionary Association.

In 1895, Hunt Logan joined the Tuskegee Woman's Club, which became an affiliate of the National Association of Colored Women (NACW) a year later.

Hunt Logan worked specifically in programs aimed to improve health care, as well as advocating for prison reform and running a lending library as a member of the NACW club.

Due to the difficulty NAWSA was having gaining passage for a constitutional amendment on women's suffrage, the organization was looking for support from southern states.

Although NAWSA was appealed to white southerners, it observed state Jim Crow segregation and turned away African-American women and men from the convention.

Mississippi had already passed a new constitution to disenfranchise blacks, and other southern states completed similar actions in this period, through 1908.

[5] Hunt Logan campaigned for women's suffrage in Alabama and wrote for NAWSA's newspaper, The Woman's Journal.

In September 1912, Hunt Logan contributed an article to the magazine of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), The Crisis, as a part of a special issue on women's suffrage.

[7] After her close friend Booker T. Washington died in November 1915, Hunt Logan fell deeper into depression.

[5][8] Five years after her death, the United States passed the Nineteenth Amendment, guaranteeing women the right to vote, effective in 1920.
