As the longtime president of NCNW, she expanded educational and economic opportunities for Black women. Dr. Height also served as an advisor to multiple Presidential administrations while remaining deeply involved in the Civil Rights Movement. Her iconic hats and powerful words continue to inspire and strengthen our mission at NCNW. ?? #DorothyHeight #NCNWStrong Audio Credit: PBSNewsHour

Former US Congresswoman Mia Love made history becoming the first Republican Black woman elected to Congress. She validated that Black women are not a monolith and establish the standard no matter the lane. We send prayers to her family and friends, as she is gone too soon! #blackwomen #ncnw #women

Today marks the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, which was signed by former President Barack Obama in 2010. The Affordable Care Act (#ACA) marks a major milestone in ensuring that Americans have access to affordable healthcare. The ACA came at a pivotal time for millions who did not have coverage. People with preexisting conditions could not get coverage and many were in debt attempting to cover the medicine they needed. Let's work to give it a lifetime for all Americans!
