Promoting an organization's agenda in the 21st century takes an internet presence. But, how does an organization on a shoestring budget get its information on the internet?

Sojourner Truth will Become the First Black Woman Honored with a Bust in the U.S. Capitol

Sojourner Truth

I don't know if you know this but there has NEVER been a Black woman honored with a bust in the capitol.

In October of 2008, the National Congress of Black Women, Inc. (NCBW) will take Truth to the U.S. Capitol. United States Congress finally passed the bill to place the bust of Sojourner Truth in the Capitol. Under the original leadership of Dr. C.

Anthony and others who'd also worked for women to get the right to vote -- as she worked to abolish slavery -- but that bill never passed.
