“I leave you, finally, a responsibility to our young people. The world around us really belongs to youth, for youth will take over its future management. Our children must never, lose their zeal for building a better world. They must not be discouraged from aspiring toward greatness, for they are to be the leaders of tomorrow. “ -Mrs. Bethune, Last Will and Testament.

Mrs. Bethune wasn’t just speaking to her own time, she was setting a standard that still applies. Although Mrs. Bethune only had one biological child, she considered her students, her mentees, and her secretaries family. She died at 79 years young and left a legacy of love and hope that continues to inspire future generations. How can you help to carry on her mission?

We Stand with Rachel Scott!

Official Statement of NCNW on the Rachel Scott Incident - We must once again address the racist and disrespectful comments directed at yet another Black woman journalist, Rachel Scott. This behavior is beyond a pattern that has become a troubling norm that we cannot accept. We will not remain silent when Black women are treated as less than others, whether in their professional roles or personal lives. Marginalizing those who tell the truth is a direct attack on the very democracy that is currently at risk. We stand with you, Rachel Scott, as the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) continues to support you and condemn prejudiced behavior and rhetoric from anyone, regardless of their position, even if they are the leader of the free world. Continue in your greatness by asking tough questions—we need that now more than ever! (Photo Credit - IG)
