Women’s History Month

Today, we honor Rep. Terri Sewell, a proud daughter of Selma and a champion for Alabama’s 7th Congressional District. She made history as the first Black valedictorian of Selma High School before earning degrees from Princeton University and Oxford University, and her law degree from Harvard Law School. She later became the first Black woman partner at a major Birmingham law firm. Now serving her eighth term, Rep. Sewell is the first and only Black woman ever elected to represent Alabama in Congress. She sits on the United States House Committee on Ways and Means, where she works to protect Social Security, strengthen health care, and expand economic opportunities for Alabama families. From launching annual job fairs and Project R.E.A.D.Y. to securing critical federal investments for the Black Belt, she has consistently delivered results. Rep. Sewell also led the effort to award the Congressional Gold Medal to the victims of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing and to the Foot Soldiers of the Voting Rights Movement, honoring the legacy of those who paved the way. Rooted in the lessons of her parents, Nancy Gardner Sewell and Coach Andrew A. Sewell, her leadership is defined by service and unwavering commitment to her community.

Honoring the women whose vision, courage, and leadership gave birth to a movement. 💜🤍

Their legacy continues through service, advocacy, and sisterhood as we carry the mission forward.

Today, we honor Autherine Lucy from Shiloh, Alabama, the first Black student to attend the University of Alabama. In 1952, Autherine Lucy and her friend Pollie Anne Myers applied and were accepted to the university. However, their admission was revoked when officials learned the two young women were Black. Following the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision that made segregation illegal, Autherine Lucy successfully petitioned and won the right to attend the university. However, from the moment she stepped on campus, she endured constant harassment and violence, and was expelled after challenging the university for its failure to protect her. Her efforts paved the way for Vivian Malone and James Hood to walk the halls of the University of Alabama in 1963. More than three decades after her wrongful expulsion, Lucy returned to UA and earned her master’s degree alongside her daughter, cementing her legacy in the fight for equal justice and civil rights.

This year’s annual Black History Program was held on Saturday , February 28, 2026.

The Lillie Wicks-Tolen Fedeated Club did an amazing job with hosting this event. The theme was “From Struggles to Strength - The Journey Continues”.

The guest speakers was Ms. Janice Malone, founder and CEO of Vivian's Door. Ms. Malone reminded us all of the rich history found in Mobile, AL and the obstacles black Americans faced and overcame. She set a charge for us to keep “Lifting As We Climb” because the fight must continue.

The program ended on a high note as everyone fellowshiped and feasted on a delicious soul food meal.

Thank you all who contributed to making this program a huge success.
