In 1925, with the blessing of Howard College President Dr. John Dawson, 16 determined women gathered at Birmingham’s historic Tutwiler Hotel with a shared vision: to support the college through service and generous giving. One hundred years later, the ministry of the Legacy League continues to make life-changing impact.
Our 100th anniversary theme, “Remember, Rejoice, Renew,” and scripture, Psalm 100, call us to reflect with gratitude and look ahead with purpose. The psalm begins with an invitation: “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!” (Psalm 100:1-2 ESV). This spirit of glad-hearted service has shaped the organization’s mission from the very beginning.
