(NBHTF) is a non-profit cultural and educational organization founded to provide vehicles to collect, research, authenticate, document, archive and celebrate the legacies and lives of women of African descent and their alliances world-wide.
Respectfully, we note that in order to accurately tell our stories, we must include the relationships shared with our brothers and allies. The National Black Task Force seeks to honor those allies who risked their positions in society, and often their lives, to assist us.
In 2000 the National Black Herstory Task Force receiving the United State Presidents Commission on the Celebration of Women in American Historys Certificate of Recognition for Community Projects. We were humbled by this honor and the nationally recognized women and men who recommended us for this honor. Successful programs currently being used are the annual National Black Herstory Conference and Awards banquet, workshops, the collection of oral and written herstories and, quarterly editions of The Herstorian Newsletter © . Plans for the second phase of our growth include the development of an online library, a video archive of stories, radio program and, the founding of a research library and cultural center.
To help us achieve these goals we are focusing on chapter development and partnering with similar community and global organization. We invite you to join us now as we move on to Phase II of our journey. Members and volunteers are needed to help us correct voids and misinformation in the telling of our stories. Together, with the support of educators, professionals and grassroots members of the community, we shall teach the world community that there cannot be an accurate recording of world history that does not include herstory.
