MAIDA (STEWART) SPRINGER KEMP, 1910-
Maida Springer Kemp was born in Panama, Central America, in 1910, and moved to New York City with her mother, Diane Stewart, in 1917. (See the Kemp interview in OH-31, Black Women Oral History Project, Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe College, for further information about her early life.)
In 1932 MSK went to work as a pinker, hand finisher and subsequently a sewing machine operator in a garment factory in New York. She joined Local 22 of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU) in 1933; this was the beginning of her involvement in the American trade union movement, which eventually included participation in the workers' education movement, African trade union movements, labor education worldwide (particularly for women), and the women's movement.
