Raised and educated in Ohio, Clifford married Ohio state legislator William H. Clifford and founded the Minerva Reading Club, which engaged in literary and cultural activities, and gave members access to a forum for personal development and discussion of current social problems. At the turn of the century, Clifford was involved in the National Association of Colored Women, and she formed the Ohio Federation of Colored Women's Clubs in 1900 and served as the organization's first president while she lived in Cleveland. She was editor of the women's department of the ''Cleveland Journal'', a black newspaper.〔Danita Harris, ("Cleveland's Black History: Carrie Williams Clifford, Orator, poet and activist" ) ABC- Newsnet 5, Feb 14, 2014 (accessed 19 Feb 2014)〕
Clifford's and her family moved to Washington D.C. around 1910, where she maintained friendships with W. E. B. Du Bois, Charles Chesnutt, Georgia Douglas Johnson, and Alain Locke, and hosted regular Sunday evening gatherings with persons such as Mary Church Terrell, William L. Hunt, Amanda Hilyer, Harry T. Burleigh, and Will Marion Cook.
Clifford was also a participant in the Niagara Movement, the predecessor to the NAACP, and was a leader in the NAACP when it was established.
