Ora Brown Stokes


Ora Brown Stokes (1882 - 1957), was born in Chesterfield County and raised in Fredericksburg, Virginia. During her life, she worked to improve the lives of African American women and girls. For twenty years she was employed as a probation officer with the Richmond City Juvenile Court. She organized the National Protective League for Negro Girls and a local chapter of the Council of Colored Women. In 1912, she started the Richmond Neighborhood Association to help black working women, and it quickly expanded to support a nursery, a residence for young girls, and other community services. Stokes was also president of the Southeastern Section of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs and the Virginia Negro League of Women Voters.
