This month I want to take a moment sharing with you why I think that Women’s History Month is so important. For the last two hundred years the efforts of Blacks to gain their freedom and equality has been tied to the efforts of women seeking the same thing. The systemic oppression from a dominant culture has been used against people of color and people of the female agenda. I take great pride in the fact that we in the Ministerial Alliance of North Amityville and Vicinity recognize the value and worth of women and are dedicated to supporting them in all the ways that we can.

One of the most important reasons why Women’s History Month is significant is that it provides an opportunity to recognize and honor the women who have been overlooked or marginalized throughout history. For many years, women’s contributions to society were often ignored or downplayed, and their stories were not included in history books. Women’s History Month provides a chance to correct this historical oversight and bring attention to the remarkable achievements of women throughout history.

Moreover, Women’s History Month is essential for inspiring future generations of women. When young girls and women learn about the remarkable achievements of their predecessors, they are empowered and inspired to pursue their dreams and aspirations. They see that women have made significant contributions to society, despite the obstacles they have faced, and they realize that they too can make a difference in their respective fields.

So, throughout this particular issue you will see our support of women from our article on “Outstanding Women of the Bible” to the “History of Women’s History Month” to the salute to the life of the first female bishop in the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship, we say to all women everywhere, we love and support you.
