women’s history month

THIS MONTH WE CELEBRATE the phenomenal women among Us!

Diane Tyree-Anglin, Montclair NAACP 29th President

"Leaders must be tough enough to fight, tender enough to cry, human enough to make mistakes, humble enough to admit them, strong enough to absorb the pain and resilient enough to bounce back and keep on moving.”

~Rev. Jesse Louis Jackson

Here in Montclair, our diversity is on full display this month. We will raise the Pan African Flag, light the crescent in recognition of Ramadan, and celebrate with the Lunar New Year parade. These observances side by side are a powerful reminder that community is not built on sameness but on shared respect. We can honor Black history while also honoring the many cultures and faith traditions that strengthen our town.

We encourage you to not only embrace the fight for freedom, justice and equality for all but to pick it up a notch by joining a committee to help foster a culture of respect for humanity, regardless of race, gender, class or religious affiliation but as one people united!
