This Black History Month, we honor a former NOW Black President who has given so much to our organization, and the furthering of women's rights. Aileen Clarke Hernandez was a prolific activist and advocate for women, as well as Black unions. She was a Co-Founder of the National Organization for Women, and led as President from 1970-1971. Her legacy will forever live on. #BlackHistoryMonth
