Black women have always been at the forefront of public health, breaking barriers and fighting for equitable care. ??Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler was the first Black woman to earn a medical degree in the U.S., providing care and health education to freed slaves after the Civil War. ??Dr. Dorothy Ferebee was faculty at Howard University and led the Mississippi Health Project, delivering medical care to thousands of underserved families during the 1930s. ??Henrietta Lacks’ unknowing contribution through HeLa cells revolutionized medical research, leading to breakthroughs in cancer treatments, vaccines, and more. Their legacies remind us to prioritize our health and build on their progress. Speak to your doctor about which vaccines are best for you and protect yourself—get vaccinated today. #AllInForMyHealth #AAUL #AustinAreaUrbanLeague #Health #EmpowerWomen
关于我们
OUR MISSION The mission of the Austin Area urban League is to assist African Americans and all other under-served Austin area residents in the achievement of societal and economic equality by focusing on educational improvement, employment readiness, health and wellness, and the preservation of affordable housing. OUR ORGANIZATION The National Urban League is a historic civil rights organization dedicated to economic empowerment in order to elevate the standard of living in historically under-served urban communities. Founded in 1910 and headquartered in New York City, the National Urban League spearheads the efforts of its local affiliates through the development of programs, public policy research and advocacy. Today, there are more than 100 local affiliates in 36 states and the District of Columbia, providing direct services that impact and improve the lives of more than 2 million people nationwide. OUR MOVEMENT The Austin Area Urban League incorporated on August 12, 1977, stands proudly as it takes its place among the 96 affiliates of the National Urban League. Although 36 years have passed since its creation, the Austin Area Urban League continues to hold fast to our original mission; one which guides our outreach, programming, partnerships and advocacy. We envision a community in which all citizens are free from barriers to education, economic and social success. Over the years, significant steps have been made in removing the early prejudices and barriers, thus allowing many of our constituents to learn to grow, and to thrive in the Austin community. As we move forward with our programs, we have been able to adapt to the ever-changing Austin environment – one that has grown from being merely the state capital to that of a thriving technological hub that incorporates the community, government, and the business sectors.
