When I heard about this project, I immediately wanted to become involved. So, I decided to volunteer to work on the Nominations/Research committee—a rewarding decision. I learned so much and was inspired by the accomplishments and contributions of these Black women. I hope their stories will have the same impact on future generations as they did for me.
