A Special Black History Month Event
Join us as we lift up the voices, lives, and legacies of Black women whose contributions continue to shape our world, often unseen, but never insignificant.
Brenda Berkman (Vice President) and Celeste Kirkland (Director) of Monumental Women will share how their all-volunteer organization shattered the “bronze ceiling” by placing the first-ever statue of real women in Central Park: Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
They’ll also discuss their current work, including:
- The Augusta Savage Initiative
- The NYC Women’s Rights History Trail
- Why public monuments matter—now more than ever
We’ll showcase short videos honoring:
- Claudette Colvin
- Betty Reid Soskin
- Gladys Brown West
2026 Women's History Theme
The 2026 theme expands our understanding of sustainability beyond just environmental concerns. It encompasses financial sustainability, community resilience, leadership succession, and intergenerational equity. Whether developing green technologies, advancing economic justice, strengthening education systems, or building civic power – women are designing blueprints for sustainable transformation. This theme affirms that shaping a sustainable future means fostering systems that support both people and the planet.
This theme honors the women who have and are reimagining and rebuilding systems to ensure long-term sustainability – environmental, economic, educational, and societal. It recognizes the powerful leadership of women in creating a future that is rooted in equity, justice, and opportunity for all. From environmental advocacy to financial reform, from community organizing to policy innovation, women are at the forefront of driving holistic change. Their leadership is not only addressing today’s most urgent challenges – it is laying the foundation for a more resilient and inclusive tomorrow.
