Women's Civic League

This group spread awareness about issues within the city and encouraged attendance at committee fundraisers through the publication of pamphlets, flyers, and, especially, through updates in the Baltimore Afro-American newspaper.

One of the most recognized events that the Women's Civic League is known for in Baltimore is the annual Flower Mart held in Mt.

[2] Originally, the Home and Garden Committee was responsible for holding the event, which provided fund-raising as well as cultural value.

The preface of the Know Your City pamphlet describes the reason for its publication; the Women's Civic League was founded to improve the welfare of Baltimore citizens.
