Description

NABMW 2022 Biennial Convention in San Antonio, Texas. We're recognizing, celebrating and honoring black military women trailblazers. https://www.nabmw.org/convention-registration The National Association of Black Military Women (NABMW) is an association of women located throughout the country who are veterans or current members of the United States Armed Forces. It was founded under the former name of "The Black WAAC, WAC, Women in Service." The Beginning: In July 1976 a group of 21 of women who served in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) and Women's Army Corps (WAC) during World War II, Korean and Vietnam Wars got together at Lucille Brown's house in Hampton, Virginia . At this chartered meeting, the group decided to locate and invite other former service women to a first reunion that was held in 1978 in Dallas, Texas. Ever since, Biennial Reunions continued and are now Biennial Conventions. NABMW MISSION STATEMENT: To seek out, record, maintain and tell the herstories and heritage of African-American Military Women from who served from WW2 to those who are currently serving in the United States Armed Forces. OUR MOTTO: "TO TELL HERSTORY"
