 Civic Improvement Club for the primary purpose of providing housing for 
 young Negro women that had migrated to Sacramento for employment at 
 McClellan Air Force base and other defense operations. Because of racial 
 segregation it was impossible to find a decent and safe place to live, even 
 the YWCA was not an option.  Grace Douglas’s book “The Griot” tells 
 the history of WCIC. The book tells of 3 existing Negro ladies arts and 
 social groups, active in Sacramento before 1936, merging their efforts to 
 form and fund the Negro Women Civic and Improvement to meet this critical 
 housing need.  In 1945, the nine members Board of Directors signed the 
 incorporation papers. In keeping with the times, the name was later changed 
 to the Women’s Civic Improvement Club.\n\nSo, join us on Saturday, August 
 6 as we celebate our 75th Anniversary.   \n\n\n\n
