This is a story about five octogenarians and members of the Mary Mahoney Registered Nurses Club, a group that was formed on July 9, 1949. It got its name from the woman who was the first African American to graduate from nursing school, the New England Hospital for Women and Children in Boston. The year was 1879. If you click on the link below, you can read about Seattle Times writer Jerry Large's recent visit with five of the women from this club. We honor these women as we near the end of Women's History Month.
