National Heroes/Heroines

History teaches that African-American women have been

breaking barriers around the world and changing the way the

world is viewed and functions since humans began to walk

the Earth.

Women have had to walk the extra mile and fought

courageous battles to awaken the world from injustice and to

bring it up to a place where it understands that change is

needed. Their collective and historical efforts have

positioned the world in a better place and provided us all and

themselves with a greater level of acceptance and recognition

as vital citizens who have contributed to the world.

world. We want show our appreciation for them and their contributions to American and World history.
