Adaline Graham, a well-known Savannah woman, died and left property and funds to whomever might start a movement to establish an orphanage for Negro children.

In 1943, as a community service project, five young black women of the Gamma Sigma Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha decided to utilize the funds and established a children center for black Children.

In 1944, the group purchased a tract of land on W. 50th Street on which they could build the institution.

On June 8, 1944, using an additional $4,500 donated by the Graham estate, Greenbriar Children’s Center was founded.

Greenbriar Children's Center opened on July 15, 1949.
