Margaret D. Scott celebrating her 104th birthday at the Pacific Town Club with her niece, Christine Hall (left), Dr. H. Claude Hudson, and an unidentified woman. The Pacific Town Club was located at Adams Blvd. and Montclair Ave.
Margaret "Maggie" Scott founded Scott's Hall (a social hall for meetings and dancing) with her husband John. She was a pioneer member of First AME Church, and took active roles in the development of the church, co-founding of the Sojourner Truth Industrial Club in 1904, and was a guiding force in the NAACP fundraising drives of the 1920s.
H. Claude Hudson had a varied career, working as a dentist, lawyer, and businessman. He was President of the first branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in Shreveport, Louisiana. After he moved his family to Los Angeles, he was elected President of the Los Angeles branch and served in that capacity for 10 years. In 1931, Dr. Hudson became the first African American graduate of Loyola Law School. He never practiced as a lawyer, however. He also founded Broadway Federal Savings and Loan.
