💚🤍 Honoring the Life and Legacy of Rev. Ronald English 🤍💚

The Charleston-Institute (WV) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated joins our community in mourning the passing of Rev. Ronald English, a visionary spiritual leader, passionate advocate for justice, and steadfast champion of equality.

Rev. English understood that honoring history requires more than words—it requires action. We are especially grateful for his partnership with members of our chapter, including our beloved late member, Attorney Kitty Dooley, in the successful effort to secure the honorary renaming of Court Street to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Way in Charleston, West Virginia.

That lasting tribute stands as a powerful reminder of their shared commitment to preserving Dr. King’s legacy and ensuring that the ideals of justice, equality, and service remain visible in the heart of our community.

As we remember Rev. English, we also honor the extraordinary legacy of Attorney Kitty Dooley and the collective efforts of those who helped make this historic recognition possible.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and all whose lives were enriched by his ministry and advocacy.

Rest well, Rev. English. Your voice may be silent, but your impact will continue to speak for generations.

📚💚 Celebrating Black Women Who Inspire Through Their Stories! 💚📚

We are excited to share that Margot Lee Shetterly, the award-winning author of Hidden Figures, will be a featured author at the 2026 West Virginia Book Festival!

Through Hidden Figures, Shetterly brought national attention to the extraordinary contributions of African American women mathematicians whose brilliance helped shape America’s space program. Her work reminds us of the importance of preserving our history, celebrating Black excellence, and inspiring future generations.

As Links, we recognize the power of literature, education, and the arts to inform, empower, and transform communities.
