As a historically oppressed group, African Americans used nonconfrontational strategies to fight for racial uplift and equal rights. This article posits that Black settlement houses provided a propitious environment for culturally based empowerment initiatives that contributed to the development of oppositional consciousness in the Black community. The article examines how Black female leaders' activism was influenced by the extent of social control the settlement houses were subject to. It argues that the culture of resistance developed in Black settlement houses foreshadowed and contributed to subsequent social movements in the African American community.

Abstract Toynbee Hall and the American settlement houses had their origins in middle-class, largely college-educated men and women who were concerned with the conditions of the urban poor. They saw in the settlement house an opportunity to share their lives and culture with the poor and to allay the dangers of class struggle. Toynbee Hall, founded in 1885, served as a direct impetus to the pioneer settlement houses in the United States. Americans imitated its form and many of its practices, but the circumstances of American life led to significant changes on the English model. By 1900, the American movement dwarfed its British predecessors, and international leadership passed to American settlement-house officials.
