Brooklyn Hampton Association (Brooklyn, New York, N.Y.).

Hide Profile

The Brooklyn Armstrong Association was formed in 1906, at least in part to accommodate Brooklyn residents who were members of the Armstrong Association of New York. The Association's aim was "to stimulate public interest in the work and influence of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute and generally in the uplifting of the Negro and Indian races." The organization held public lectures and collected contributions for the Hampton Institute. In late 1920, the organization changed its name to the Hampton Association of Brooklyn (more commonly referred to as the Brooklyn Hampton Association). The organization disbanded in 1943.
