(Preamble):

The legacy of the American black women is such that it must be recognized as distinct and culturally significant to the advancement of the black community and the American Society. Therefore to designate a time to recognize, reflect and remember black women is necessary and relevant to "when and where we enter" because it celebrates the mother of civilization and dignifies her contributions to human and humankind.
