One of the founders of the Oklahoma Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, she served as the organization president from 1936 to 1940.

Early life

Mary Maude Sterling was born on February 28, 1876[1][2][3][Notes 1] in Clark County, Arkansas.[3][11] She grew up in Curtis and attended school at the Arkadelphia Presbyterian Academy, a primary and secondary school established to educate the children of former slaves.[11][12] She went on to further her education at Arkansas Baptist College.[11]

Career

By 1896, Sterling had married William Brockway and moved to Indian Territory. There they had a daughter, Inez, and Brockway taught[2] at schools in Ardmore and Berwyn in the Chickasaw Nation.[11] She joined the Baptist Young People's Union, and in 1906 was serving as its president.[13] That year, she began operating a milliner's shop in Ardmore.[14] After 1906, the family moved to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Territory, where Brockway owned and operated a milliner's shop.[4] The following year, she became one of the founders of the Oklahoma Federation of Colored Women's Clubs.[15]

Brockway served as parliamentarian and statistician for the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs.[16]

In 1938, as part of the Maternal Health Organization and the Oklahoma Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, Brockway established the second Black-owned private birth control clinic in the US. The clinic operated in the Brockway Recreation Center, was staffed by two physicians, and Brockway served as a director.[17]

Death and legacy

In 2019, the Brockway Community Center was nominated for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places listings in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma.[18]

Notes

  1. ^ Sterling's name is often given as Maude Jane or Maude J. Her birth year varies significantly, appearing as 1876,[2] 1877,[4] 1881,[5] 1882,[6] 1883,[7] 1885,[1] and circa 1900[3]. Her obituary also states that her father was Rev. Edward Sterling, but the only family living in Clark County, Arkansas between 1870 and 1880 with this surname were the children Queen A. (1864), King (1866), Martha (1867), Thomas (1868), Rosann (1870-before 1880), Miles (1871), Mary Jane (1873), Edwards (1875), twins Ella and Della (1877), Katie (1879), and Lilly (1880) of a farmer, William Sterling and his wife, Sarah Jane (née Jones).[8][9] In 1900 William and his wife, Mary, reported their granddaughter, Inez Brockway living with them.[10]
