The DC State Chess Federation provides accessible and affordable opportunities for all children, adults, and seniors to learn and play chess in and around the District of Columbia, particularly people of color who are historically underrepresented in chess and to build bridges between people of diverse backgrounds.
Lucy Diggs Slowe (1885-1937) was an American educator and athlete. She was a tennis champion, winning the national title of the American Tennis Association's first tournament in 1917, the first African-American woman to win a major sports title. In 1919, the District of Columbia asked Slowe to create the first junior high school in its system for Black students and then appointed her as principal. She led Shaw junior high school until 1922, creating the first integrated in-service training for junior high school teachers in the District. Slowe then served for 15 years as the first Dean of Women at Howard University, and the first Black woman to serve as Dean of Women at any American university.
