Kansas City, Missouri, USA
In the early 1960s, Della May Hadley and her husband Stephen became deeply involved with Fellowship House, a pioneering interracial community center in Kansas City dedicated to fostering racial harmony. This organization served as a vital meeting ground where residents of different backgrounds could engage in dialogue and collaborative social action during a period of intense segregation. By participating in these grassroots efforts, Hadley helped organize programs that challenged discriminatory practices and promoted integration across the city's neighborhoods. Her work with Fellowship House laid the foundational groundwork for her lifelong commitment to civil rights and social justice advocacy.
