We celebrate the women who quietly keep our communities standing.
The African American Women's History Month Project honors extraordinary volunteers, mentors and matriarchs whose work sustains African American communities — on the record, by name.
The women we have been looking for.
Honorees identified for their hard work and dedication — teachers, organizers, judges, preachers, healers, grandmothers. Photographed and archived, year after year.
