NATIONAL COALITION OF 100 BLACK WOMEN, INC.
HISTORY
The Coalition began in the winter of 1970 in New York City. Twenty-four Black Women, led by visionary Edna Beach, began meeting in their homes to assess the problems and opportunities left behind in the wake of the turbulent 1960’s. As a result of their meetings, they formed the National Coalition of 100 Black Women.
For the rest of the 1970s, they slowly but persistently worked to master root causes of issues that affected their families, their communities, and themselves. They boldly began to reach out to other Black women in common cause, and eventually, mobilized their emerging stature as a visible force of influence promoting gender and racial equity.
In 1981, the New York Coalition had over 500 members throughout New York City’s 00” in its title. Its effective role-model nity activity won notice in both local cognition, Black women from other on and programs in their own geographic

Alma S. Adams
Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, Ph.D., was sworn in immediately as the 100th woman elected to the 113th Congress after winning a special election in November 2014. She was elected to her fifth full term representing the 12th Congressional District of North Carolina on November8,2022.
Representative Adams serves on the Committee on Education & the Workforce and the Committee on Agriculture. She holds several leadership roles; as Assistant Whip for the Democratic Caucus, Ranking Member of the Committee on Education & Labor’s Subcommittee on Workforce Protections, and co-chair of the Congressional Bipartisan HBCU Caucus, the Black Maternal Health Caucus, and the e-Learning Caucus. She has previously served on multiple committees including the House Committee on Financial ServicesandtheHouseCommitteeonSmallBusiness.
Her signature legislative accomplishment in Congress is the enactment of H.R. 5363, the Fostering Undergraduate Talent by Unlocking Resources for Education (FUTURE) Act which permanently provides funding totaling $255 million a year for all Minority-Serving Institutions,including$85millionforHBCUs.
For Congresswoman Alma Adams, there are four necessities that all people require to live a quality life – affordable and accessible healthcare, access to healthy and nutritious food, fair and affordable housing, and a quality, first-class education. These essentials, which Alma calls “the 4H’s”, should not be political issues; they should be rights guaranteed to all people. She believes this because she knows personallyhowharditistosurvivewithoutthem.

2024 CANDACE AWARDS
Candace (pronounced “Can-day-cee”) is translated as “Queen Mother” in the Meroitic language. The Candace is the hereditary title of the Queens of ancient Nubia, Meroe, Kush, and Ethiopia. Under the Candace form of government, the “Queen Mother” was the central political figure - Queens either ruled alone or were equal to their husbands as a coruler. Candace are mentioned in the Bible (Acts 8:27) and their names are carved on ancient Egyptian buildings. It is critical to understand that Candace is not a person, but rather a dynasty that centralized the leadership of African Women as rulers and warrior Queens. Today, we present and honor a few Queen Mothers in Charlotte that selflessly give of themselves in order to serve others.
