In her long and accomplished career, Adah Jenkins was an early black pioneer of both the concert hall and opera house; realms both previously relegated to white musicians and performers. In her role as a member of the Music Critic's Association, she stove to bring attention to the national needs of black music critics and artists. Additionally, she was the first African-American music supervisor for Baltimore City schools, as well as working extensively with Morgan State University. She used her role as an educator to discover young black talent in the arts, and provide scholarships for those gifted students, many of whom owe their current status to her efforts. Her efforts in the black community extended beyond music, however, as she was active during the Civil Rights Movement and helped to found and organize the Baltimore Interracial Fellowship
