Description: Group portrait of members of the The Links, Incorporated, Atlanta Chapter, photographed during a formal gathering in the 1950s. The women are arranged in several rows in a living room setting, seated on the floor and sofa while others stand behind them.

Founded in 1946, The Links is a national organization of African American professional women dedicated to community service, cultural enrichment, and civic engagement. Photographs like this one document the strong networks of friendship and mutual support that characterized the organization’s early decades, particularly among women leaders in Atlanta’s civic and cultural life.
