National Hook-Up of Black Women Installs Local Members

Members of the Volusia County Chapter of the National Hook-Up of Black Women, Inc. were installed during a ceremony on Aug. 11.

The National Hook-Up of Black Women, Inc. (NHBW) was organized in 1974 during the fourth Congressional Black Caucus Legislative Weekend in Washington, D.C., as a national forum to articulate the needs and concerns of Black women and children.

NHBW is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to improving the lives of women and their families through the arts, culture, education, health and human services programs. They celebrate the achievements of women and establish partnerships to fight domestic violence, teens overcoming pressure, literacy, and mental health.

On Sept. 26, 2018, Sandra Strapp held an organizational meeting at the Yvonne Scarlett Golden Cultural and Educational Center and from that meeting evolved 36 members.

This site was chosen because it was erected in the Black community in honor of the late Yvonne Scarlett-Golden, the first African American mayor of Daytona Beach.

NHBW’s Volusia County Chapter’s Installation and Pinning Ceremony was held on Aug. 11 at the LPGA International Golf Course, Daytona Beach.
