designers and women models.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I love your article.  Too bad there was no mention of the first African American Tajik organization for which Lois was a part[time] national president.  The National Association of Fashion and Accessory Designers founded by Jeanette Welch Brown at the request of Mary McCloud Bethune.  I am the last Eastern Region Vice President for the organization and I have droves of archival articles and other items including garments from National competitions. As a matter of fact one of my garments may be among the items donated to the Smithsonian.  You are welcome to reach out to me.]]></description>
