And, as we stand on the eve of our beloved council’s 80th anniversary, I believe that our time together affirmed that the vision articulated by our founder, Mary McLeod Bethune is both still relevant and increasingly urgent. While we have made great strides towards racial and gender equality, we have much more work to do. Recent reports demonstrate the continuation of a disturbing trend in our nation—more of the nations’ wealth being concentrated among fewer and fewer people. What was once a dream for African American families—to be a part of the Middle Class — has evolved into a nightmare as the entire group continues to shrink. While the nation continues to recover from the devastating effects of the recession, the reality is that African American women and families continue to struggle.
