NATIONAL CORPORATE EXECUTIVES, NON-PROFIT LEADERS, AND CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS TO CONVENE AT THE NATIONAL CONGRESS OF BLACK WOMEN'S 2005 CONFERENCE TO SAVE OUR SISTERS, SONS AND SCHOOLS!
Los Angeles, CA (BlackNews.com) - The National Congress of Black Women, Inc. (NCBW) will host Keepers of the Legacy Luncheon and Panel Discussion during its 2005 Conference on Monday, September 26, 2004 at the Capitol Hilton Hotel, 1001 16th Street NW, Washington, DC, from 12:30 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Following the conclusion of the Congressional Black Caucus Legislative Conference, NCBW members from around the country and leaders from the corporate, academic, political and civic communities will convene in Washington, D.C. to attend the NCBW's 21st annual brunch and biennial convention. This year's theme is "Save Our Sisters, Sons and Schools! (S.O.S.S.S.)".
A major highlight of the conference will be Monday's Keepers of the Legacy Luncheon and Panel Discussion, an action plan session about how the village (Private, Civic, Business, Law Enforcement, Entertainment and Clergy) can invest in early care and education to prevent our children from being left behind, and avert our tax dollars from being spent on incarceration. The panel will determine ways that we can better prepare our nation's children to be productive citizens.
Featured legacy leader panelists include Elaine Jones, President and Director Counsel-Emeritus, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund; Michelle Battle, Ed.D., COO, NCBW; Lynson M. Beaulieu, Senior Program Director, National Black Child Development Institute; Toni Blackman, Hip Hop Ambassador; Sarah M. Greene, President and CEO, National Head Start Association; John H. Jackson, J.D., Ed.D, National Director of Education, NAACP; Alisha Thomas Morgan, Georgia House of Representatives, Cobb County; Tahiya McCoy Nyahuma, Professor, Rowan University and Chair, Philadelphia Congress, NCBW; and Deborah Tulani Salahu-Din, Lecturer and Author of The Brighter Side of Darkness: Narrative of School Desegregation.
Tickets for the Keepers of the Legacy Luncheon and Panel, as well as for other NCBW conference events may be purchased on-line at www.npcbw.org
The National Congress of Black Women (NCBW), formerly The National Political Congress of Black Women, was founded August 2, 1984, in Washington, D.C. when the Honorable C. DeLores Tucker called a group of 35 African American women leaders of diverse groups to organize for greater involvement in the political process. At the third meeting called by convening founder C. DeLores Tucker held on August 9, 1984, she nominated the Honorable Shirley Chisholm as the first Chair of NCBW and Chisholm served until she assumed the esteemed title of Chair Emeritus. The meeting was held at the quarters of the National Alliance of Postal Workers, the first and the largest union organized by African Americans. NCBW is non-partisan.

I hate to see a post with no responses, so here's one.
With these two as delegates, I'm sure this will be productive and educational.
I foresee the Conf. concluding about three things:
1 - give us more money
2 - give us more of your money
3 - give us lots more of your money
Page two will demand:
1 - choice and vouchers for women seeking abortions
2 - no choice and no vouchers for families seeking good schools
Page three will promote:
1 - rappers calling women "ho's" and others "n-word"
2 - felony charges for anyone else saying the "n-word"
On the good news side, Coretta King, whose family operates the Ka-Ching Center in Atlanta, left the hospital today, after being treated for her strokes, and is now at home and getting lots of rehab.

I think Black women have a little bit more to discuss than that.

Why are you so concerned about what a Black women's group is doing? I promise, I may despise the Klan, but I'm not interested in the agenda of their convention.

Is it offensive if I referred to black women as sistahs?
I wasn't born in America so all these nuances in the English language are difficult for me.
I love all women the same.

Rudey,
I done tole you I was MAAAARRRRREEEEEIIIIDDD!!!
The only reference you can give to the sistahs is by their names... Unless you call them "goddesses"--and they'll love that about you...
Otherwise, just call folks by their names...
And personally, I don't find it offensive. Others might, though...
