T In Chicago, Brooks found work as a chambermaid at the Congress Hotel. In 1933, she began to work in a laundry that provided linens and towels to hotels, remaining there for the most of her working years. In 1938, Brooks joined the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago, where she continued to attend almost every Sunday. Brooks voted in her first election the year that women in the United States were granted equal voting rights, 1920. She continued to vote in almost every election throughout her life.
