When it comes to creating history, black women have been doing it since the beginning of time. From Nefertiti to Cleopatra to Queen Elizabeth I, black women have always been at the forefront of change. Today, black women are still making history every day. Here are just a few examples:

In February of 2017, black women made history when they took part in the largest single-day demonstration in U.S. history: the Women’s March on Washington. In October of 2018, black women made history again when a record number of them were elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. And in January of 2019, black women made history yet again when two of them were sworn in as the first black female senators in the U.S. history. These are just a few examples of how black women are making history every day. It’s clear that black women have always been and continue to be a force to be reckoned with.

In 2022, black women are continuing to make history every day. They are becoming more involved in politics, and are running for office in record numbers. They are also becoming more visible in the media and in popular culture. Black women are also making progress in the fight for equal pay and women's rights.

In the United States, Black women have always been at the forefront of the fight for equality and civil rights. From the early days of the abolitionist movement to the modern day movement for Black Lives, Black women have always been at the forefront, leading the charge and fighting for the rights of all Black people. Black women have always been strong and vocal leaders in the fight for civil rights. In the early days of the Civil Rights Movement, it was Black women like Rosa Parks and Fannie Lou Hamer who were at the forefront, leading the charge and fighting for the rights of all Black people. Today, Black women like Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi, and Patrisse Cullors are continuing the fight, leading the charge for Black Lives Matter and fighting for the rights of all Black people. Black women have always been the backbone of the Civil Rights Movement. Without their strength, courage, and determination, the Civil Rights Movement would not have been possible. Black women have always been the unsung heroes of the Civil Rights Movement, and they continue to be the backbone of the fight for equality and civil rights today.

In 2014, Black women were the breadwinners for their families in the United States more than any other group of women. Black women are the primary or co-primary breadwinners in nearly 4 in 10 Black families. In contrast, among all women, including White, Latina, and Asian women, only 1 in 7 is the primary breadwinner. And, while Black women are more likely than women of other groups to be in the labor force, they are also more likely to be unemployed. The median income for Black women in 2016 was $35,640, compared to $51,861 for all women. But, the median income for Black women was only 62 percent of what White men earned. The wage gap is even larger for Black women with a college degree, who earn only 70 percent of what White men with college degrees earn. The disparities in income for Black women exist even as they are more likely than other groups of women to be the primary breadwinners for their families. In 2016, Black women were the sole or primary breadwinners in 41 percent of Black families, compared to 24 percent of White families, 15 percent of Hispanic families, and 11 percent of Asian families. There are a number of reasons for the inequities in income and labor force participation for Black women. One is the structural racism that has limited their access to education, employment, and credit. Additionally, Black women are more likely than women of other groups to be single parents and to have family caregiving responsibilities. These responsibilities can limit their ability to work or to earn as much as they would if they did not have these responsibilities. Despite the challenges they face, Black women continue to be the backbone of their families and communities. They are raising children, caring for loved ones, working, and fighting for equality. Black women are making history every day.

In 2019, it was estimated that only 4% of Fortune 500 CEOs were women, and of those women, only 1% were black. This means that of the 500 biggest companies in America, only 4 were run by women, and of those 4, only 1 was run by a black woman. This statistic is proof that black women are severely underrepresented in the business world. However, there are a number of black women who are making history by becoming the CEO's of major corporations. One of the most notable black female CEO's is Kamala Harris, the current Vice President of the United States. Harris is the first black woman and the first woman of Indian descent to hold this position. She is also the first person who is not a white man to be elected as VP in the history of the US. In 2020, she was named one of Forbes' 100 Most Powerful Women, and she is currently ranked as the second most powerful woman in the world by Forbes. Another black female CEO who is making history is Ursula Burns, the former CEO of Xerox. Burns was the first black woman to become a CEO of a Fortune 500 company. She was also the first person to rise from an intern to a CEO at Xerox. During her time as CEO, she increased Xerox's revenue by $7 billion. The first black female CEO of a Fortune 500 company was Oprah Winfrey, who is also one of the most famous black women in the world. Oprah is a media mogul, and she has her own TV network, OWN. She is also the founder of O, The Oprah Magazine, and she has a book club with over 2 million members. In addition to her business successes, Oprah is also known for her philanthropy. She has donated over $400 million to educational causes. These are just a few examples of the many black women who are making history by becoming the CEO's of major corporations. By breaking the glass ceiling, these women are inspiring other black women to pursue their dreams and achieve their goals.

In a world that is constantly trying to tell black women that their voices don’t matter, black women are leading the charge for social and political change. From the black women who are running for office to the black women who are leading movements, black women are showing the world that they are a force to be reckoned with. One black woman who is making history is Stacey Abrams. Abrams is a former minority leader of the Georgia House of Representatives and is now running for governor of Georgia. If Abrams is elected, she will be the first black woman to be governor of any state. Abrams is running on a platform of expanding voting rights, increasing access to healthcare, and creating good jobs. Another black woman who is making history is Tarana Burke. Burke is the founder of the #MeToo movement, which is a movement to end sexual violence. The #MeToo movement has been a powerful force in changing the conversation around sexual violence and has empowered black women to speak up about their experiences. Black women are also leading the charge for change in their communities. Black women like Rachel Cargle, Brittany Packnett, and Darnell Moore are using their platforms to amplify the voices of black women and to fight for justice. Cargle is an author and educator who is using her platform to call out racism and white supremacy. Packnett is an educator and activist who is working to end police violence. And Moore is an activist who is working to end all forms of oppression. Black women are making history every day. They are running for office, leading movements, and fighting for change in their communities. And they are showing the world that black women’s voices matter.

From pioneers in the field of medicine to scientists and politicians, black women have been making their mark on the world. Today, black women continue to be at the forefront of change, whether it is in the arena of business, education, or the arts. Here are just a few of the many inspiring black women who are making history every day.

Their accomplishments are proof that anything is possible if you set your mind to it. They are an inspiration to us all and provide us with hope for the future.

Black women are making history every day by simply existing and fighting for their rights. From the first woman to graduate from college to the first black woman to be elected to Congress, black women have been breaking barriers and paving the way for future generations. In 1833, Sarah Baartman, also known as the "Hottentot Venus", became the first black woman to graduate from college when she received her degree from the University of Pennsylvania. Baartman's story is one of perseverance and determination in the face of adversity. Born into slavery in South Africa, Baartman was brought to Europe where she was put on display as a freak show attraction. She was treated like an animal, and her body was ogled and commented on by the white Europeans who came to see her. Despite the way she was treated, Baartman never gave up. She continued to fight for her freedom, and eventually, she was able to return to her homeland. Baartman's story is an inspiration to black women everywhere, and her legacy continues to live on through the work of scholars and activists who are dedicated to preserving her memory. In 1916, Mabel Ping-Hua Lee became the first black woman to be elected to Congress when she was elected to represent the state of New York. Lee was a Chinese immigrant who came to the United States at the age of six. She was a gifted student, and she eventually went on to attend Bryn Mawr College. Lee was an active member of the suffragette movement, and she was also a powerful speaker and writer. In her role in Congress, she fought for the rights of immigrants, women, and working people. Lee was a strong advocate for the rights of all people, and she is an inspiring example of what black women can achieve when they are given a voice. Harriet Tubman is one of the most iconic figures in American history. Born into slavery, Tubman escaped to freedom and then devoted her life to helping others escape from slavery. Tubman was an abolitionist, and she also worked as a nurse, a spy, and a conductor on the Underground Railroad. Tubman's courageous acts helped to free hundreds of slaves, and she is also credited with helping to start the Civil War. Tubman was a true hero, and her story is an inspiration to black women everywhere. Rosa Parks is another iconic figure in American history. In 1955, Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. This act of defiance sparked the Montgomery bus boycott, which was a major moment in the Civil Rights movement. Parks's act of defiance showed the world that black people were no longer going to tolerate segregation and discrimination. Her brave actions inspired other black women to stand up for their rights, and she is widely considered to be one of the most important figures in the Civil Rights movement. Black women
