Craft. 

Craft was the first African American woman to vote in Dallas County in a public election and used millinery to support her activism. Instructor Cassie MacGregor from The House of MacGregor walked through the construction of feather flowers on a vine using glue, wire, and wooden beads. The workshop concluded with nice music, floral tea with sweet biscuits, and a fun photo op.
