Black women are very capable of leading our organizations. I believe that firmly.

There is a lack of interest in voting in the United States, and that troubles me. It is very necessary that people get registered, study the issues and be aware of the politics of our country. We will really be set back if people don't take the time to learn about the candidates who are concerned about the well-being of all the citizens and vote.
Rosa Parks
Image
To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We will fail when we fail to try.
Rosa Parks
