National Association Of Colored Women's Club Analysis

My research proposal will focus on the different issues African American women face while trying to advance within society. I will discuss how these women are paid less because they are women as well as African American. I will also be comparing their struggles to Black men, and White men and women. My next topic will include how these women are often discriminated against. And finally I will discuss how these women are often over looked for receiving promotions at work, even if they obtain more experience.

On November 10, 2017, the National Black Pre-Law Conference will host a one-day networking and empowerment event at the New York University School of Law. The conference is a premier event that focuses on African-Americans who are interested in becoming future lawyers. The activity will provide aspiring lawyers with information, connection, resources, and support to help them in their decision on joining the legal profession.

Women have come a long way. They started off unable to vote or even have equal rights to now it is hope that a woman may potentially be president. People of different races and people with different sexualities faced many many struggles with discrimination and being looked down upon to now being elected for several levels of government.unable

I am a fan of all women especially strong, intelligent, confident black women who stand out in the community. I believe the NCBW’s is not only a small display of our women but a pilot for so much to come. I am eager to join so that I too can stand strong with my sisters and keep the generational dream alive.

I do lead by example by using my volunteer hours and volunteering constantly on my own spare time. I am an individual who is open to others opinions and to experience. I am very respectful always trying to follow the “golden” rule, of treated others like you would like to be treated. I value diversity and inclusion as we all do not come from the same walk of life, but we all should appreciate each other differences as a blending of ideas lead to greatness. I am non-judgmental to people that I meet or speak with as the outside of someone doesn’t always reflect the goodness that could lie within an individual. I have the ability and willingness to represent the chapter in a positive way, by wearing my Wells Fargo volunteer shirt when I go to events and engaging team members to participate in volunteering. I have the willingness and the ability to be a valuable contributor to the team and be a part of a team to get others more involved within the community. I possess good communication skills verbally and written when speaking to others. Finally, I will be able to make the minimum one year commitment, but hope to be a part of the chapter leadership team for many years to

One of the first real leadership positions I ever had at my school was in the Hillcrest Hospital Helpers Club. I became a member my first year at Hillcrest as a sophomore and became immediately interested in their purpose as a school club. While it may sound cliché, the members of the club, and especially the leaders, wanted to make a difference through their service. We would at least monthly participate in creating art crafts and activities for the children at Shriner’s Hospital and then deliver it to them. While it may not seem much to the average person, the happiness on the children’s faces was worth all of our efforts and more.

This article comes from the Journal of Interpersonal Violence. The title of the article is A Comparison of Women of Color and Non-Hispanic White Women on Factors Related to Leaving a Violent Relationship. This study compares women of color and non-Hispanic White women regarding the influence of socioeconomic status, family investment, and psychological abuse on leaving a violent relationship. Women of color and non-Hispanic White women did not differ in their length or rate of leaving, although women of color left more frequently when they did leave. Women of color with higher socioeconomic status were less likely to leave, which was not the case for non-Hispanic White women.

A disparity is a great inconsistency, difference , or a lack of equality. As a consequence of studies researching the educational experiences of boys dominating the academic realm of African Americans, the educational disparities that their female counterparts face are overshadowed and/or discounted. The purpose of this paper is to address the inconsistency, or lack of extensive research on African American girls by examining the ways in which gender plays an adverse role in the education of African American girls, how much awareness there is on the issue of educational disparities in AA girls (specifically the faculty and students), and what the future

Everyday Transgender Women of color are mistreated and repressed by society, they face constant ridicule and mistreatment. They face a constant issue of society judging them and putting them under a microscope. Societal repression is a constant issue these women face just because of their gender identity. Transgender Women of Color are one of the most least mentioned groups in society. This under shadowed group of women is struggling. They face constant abuse and repression, society is destroying these women. These women who are just like everyone else are one of the most mistreated societal groups around. They face things like mistreatment in the health field that should be helping them through one of the biggest transitions of their life.

After the end of slavery, blacks were free and had the right to vote, but they were oppressed by white supremacist and state laws that restricted their voting rights. Many great minds rose from the shadows and spoke against these injustice, but the one that stands out the most is Marcus Garvey. Garvey created a huge impact in the African-American history, but his stubbornness and ignorance lead to his self-destruction. As a young boy, in Jamaica, Garvey was inspired by the works of Booker T Washington especially by the book “Up from Slavery”. From a young age, Garvey believed that is was his destiny to speak in front of millions this was one of the many reasons why he became an activist. Throughout his lifetime he made enemies with other African- American activist, like W. E. B Du Bois, who criticized Garvey and his ideology. The first American branch of the United Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) was established by Garvey in September 1917; the main causes of this association was to improve the lives of African Americans around the world and to take back Africa from the grasps of the white men and claim it for the Africans that were scattered around the world. Marcus was put on trial on May 18 1923 this marked the beginning of the downfall of Garvey’s empire. In general, Marcus Garvey was an activist who wanted the best for his people but his downfall was cause by his own stubbornness and because he surrounded himself by incompetent people and his enemies.

Black Americans groups are extremely diverse in a number of ways. Black Americans groups include people areas and this diversity affects their behavior in different racial backgrounds (American Indian, Black, and White) and includes people of Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Spanish, and Central or South American origin. Each of these different cultural groups share a common language and some cores values that result in their being classified together, yet another group also carries its own unique culture, traditions and perspective. People from these different groups also have different immigration histories that further contribute to the diversity within the African group.

Out of the three groups, women, Native Americans and African Americans, I believe that the Native Americans gained the least in comparison to the women and the African Americans from the American victory in the Revolutionary war. During the war women had gained a lot more than the Indians or the African Americans. Some went to fight with the men others stayed home, ran farms and businesses, raised children and kept the household together. They gain more responsibilities that was usually meant for men.  This helped to grow a new confidence within women, they even stated a group called the Daughters of Liberty , just like the Sons of Liberty the joined in on harassing those who opposed the rebel. Women gained more freedom, power and recognition.

During my high school career, I have immersed myself in numerous clubs and committees, empowering my development as an avid leader. I have been involved in my school’s poverty club for four years. Currently as club president, I direct meetings and the implementation of our events and fundraisers for local homeless youth. Additionally, I am co-president for the organization of Moscrop Human Library, a school-wide event that breaks down stereotypes through dialogue. Being involved in the planning since 2015, I was in charge of finding speakers, gaining sponsors, and more. This year, I will be leading the event, delegating tasks, coordinating volunteers, and more. Furthermore, I have been an active member in graduation council for two years and

An organization that prides itself in upholding pillars such as scholarship, leadership, service, and integrity, like NSCS, will, without fail, create a space for people to grow into the leaders and the movers and shakers they dream to be. The space that this society provides for people to pursue righteous goals in the name of service and social justice gives a chance for leaders to rise. Whenever we hold events, I am never afraid to lead the group, input my opinion, or suggest something. Whenever we hold a general body meeting, I am never unsure whether or not to tell everyone about a local church’s volunteer event coming up or any service event I have in mind. For many people who are shy and do not know how to speak up, NSCS provides an inclusive environment for people to be themselves and become passionate for serving others. Giving people the ability to become the people they want to be is a beautiful thing and that is exactly how NSCS has helped me find all the success I have found in college. I have no doubts that I will only learn more about myself and about leadership the longer I am a part of this wonderful

Women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Jane Cunningham Croly worked hard to fight for rights. Even though at the time women could not vote, they became active in movements to influence politics. In the course book on page 589, it describes the activities of women’s clubs as extraordinary. I did some research on the history of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs and found an article tilted, “General Federation of Women's Clubs International”, written by The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica. In this article, it mentions how the General Federation of Women’s Clubs was founded when Jane Cunningham Croly issued an invitation to other women’s clubs to form an umbrella organization. As you can see women were fighting for equality
