History
The National Hook Up of Black Women, Inc. (NHBW) was conceived by a group of women that recognized the need to establish a communications network between women's organizations and the Congressional Black Caucus. NHBW was founded by Dr. Arnita Young-Boswell in 1974 along with a small group of spirited women during the fourth Congressional Black Caucus Legislative Weekend. These black women met in a hotel room and organized a national forum to articulate the needs and concerns of women and children.
Today under the leadership of our national president Dr. Lona Bibbs, NHBW has not only become the voice of all women and their families but have evolved into community advocates. The national organization consists of 24 chapters throughout the United States. Through community based health and human service initiatives, promoting projects to improve lives, preparing women for leadership, advocating for community improvement, and providing scholarships; NHBW, Inc. has become a recognized name within many communities.
