About Women's History Month
The Month that Belongs to
All of Us
Women’s History is a celebration of US! From the early days, over centuries and to this moment, Black women have carried the torch for democracy and freedom. Although arriving here in chains, they always resisted and pushed to survive so their children’s children could one day thrive. Anti-Slavery abolitionists, women’s suffragists, activists of emancipation rights, labor rights, civil rights – then and today, they have shaped movements for justice and liberation.
