Daughters of the American Revolution

A casual and informal presentation (and conversation) with the St. Louis Chapter of this Historic National Organization.

The Chapter had reached out to learn about the Chinese American History in St. Louis and Chinese American History’s contribution in the making of America.

The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded on October 11, 1890, during a time that was marked by a revival in patriotism and intense interest in the beginnings of the United States of America. Women felt the desire to express their patriotic feelings and were frustrated by their exclusion from men's organizations formed to perpetuate the memory of ancestors who fought to make this country free and independent. As a result, a group of pioneering women in the nation's capital formed their own organization and the Daughters of the American Revolution has carried the torch of patriotism ever since.
