Message from the President



April is Black Women's History Month, and NJYD is proud to celebrate and recognize Black women's outstanding achievements and contributions to American society.



There is no end to Black women's impact in this country. We are inventors, creatives, activists, educators, elected officials, doctors, lawyers, and so much more. From Dr. Dorothy Irene Height, who helped found the National Women's Political Caucus, to Shirley Chisholm, who was the first African American woman elected to the U.S. Congress, to Constance Baker, who was the first African American Federal Court judge, Black women have been breaking barriers and fighting for a just and equal world.



This month, we celebrate how Black women have shaped this world and express our appreciation for the sacrifices made to ensure a better tomorrow. To the Black women leaders throughout the Garden State, thank you for sharing your brilliance and defying all odds.



With gratitude,

President Fatima Heyward
