While in New York, he became acquainted with journalist Timothy Thomas Fortune, who was in the process of organizing his National Afro-American League, designed to protect African Americans against lynching and racial discrimination.
The National Afro-American League was formed on January 25, 1890, by Timothy Thomas Fortune.
Their efforts paid off in 1929, when President Herbert Hoover appointed Mary Church Terrell, Mary McLeod Bethune, and 10 others to a commission charged with building a "National Memorial Building" showcasing African American achievements in the arts and sciences.
When it was revived in Rochester, New York, on September 15, 1898, it had the new name of the "National Afro-American Council", with Fortune as President.
