OVERVIEW
Black servicewomen in Los Angeles, California, Detroit, Atlanta, Washington, D,C, New York City, Orlando, San Antonio and Fort McClellan, Alabama conducted biennial reunions from 1976 until 1994. Black WAAC's, WACs, and Women in Service groups discussed the need to preserve the history of women who had served in wars since the American Revolution. Yet Black Military Women, are not mentioned in the history books, are not represented on film or by the media, and there was no documentation of the Black female soldier. In an effort to preserve and document memories from the aging, and dying Black service women, to provide a place in history, to capture, record, and tell HERSTORY with the history and heritage of active duty and veteran black military women. The NABMW was established, and local chapters were subsequently organized to honor those female veterans who have gone before us. The actual history of the NABMW history of the NABMW is located at www.NABMW.com.
