Why are women still only making 79 cents to every $1 a man makes? Why are the perceptions of hard working women different from men? Why are women presidential candidates treated differently than their male counterparts? Why does race still matter for women of color? And why is the work and family balancing act still a major factor in the upward mobility of career women in the United States and other countries? Women have made tremendous progress in the past 100 years. That’s a certainty. However, so much more can be achieved when we examine the root causes of why so much more can be done to achieve gender equity in the workplace. We’ll also salute military veterans Rev. Dr. Sandra Whitley and Rev. Dr. Carlita Cotton, whose achievements were recognized and honored during the March 3rd Black History Breakfast. Women on the move…making a difference in our world.

Each broadcast can be replayed immediately following the show. ======================== It took more than 100 years to officially recognize women in America, but it’s been well worth the wait. Women have contributed to ALL facets of society, and now make up more than half the population of the country. And even though we celebrate our accomplishments, trials and tribulations in the US, we also celebrate the value and significance of women ALL over the world. Most importantly those women who toil and untirelessly keep their families together, often making less than a dollar a day. Those women deserve dignity, respect and support from the rest of us. We’ll also applaud the achievements of our veteran women, including Patricia Odom, who was honored in last week’s Black History Breakfast. Women…we salute you on today’s program! * Click Here To Read More About Patricia Odom: ==================== About Women’s History Month (US Government Version) Source: http://womenshistorymonth.gov/about.html Women’s History Month had its origins as a national celebration in 1981 when Congress passed Pub. L. 97-28 which authorized and requested the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982 as “Women’s History Week." Throughout the next five years, Congress continued to pass joint resolutions designating a week in March as "Women’s History Week." In 1987 after being petitioned by the National Women’s History Project, Congress passed Pub. L. 100-9 which designated the month of March 1987 as “Women’s History Month." Between 1988 and 1994, Congress passed additional resolutions requesting and authorizing the President to proclaim March of each year as Women’s History Month. Since 1995, Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama have issued a series of annual proclamations designating the month of March as “Women’s History Month.” =========================== National Women’s History Project (Non-Profit Organization) Source: http://www.nwhp.org/about-2/our-history/ In 1980, the National Women’s History Project (NWHP) was founded in Santa Rosa, California by Molly Murphy MacGregor, Mary Ruthsdotter, Maria Cuevas, Paula Hammett and Bette Morgan to broadcast women’s historical achievements. The NWHP started by leading a coalition that successfully lobbied Congress to designate March as National Women’s History Month, now celebrated across the land. Today, the NWHP is known nationally as the only clearinghouse providing information and training in multicultural women’s history for educators, community organizations, and parents-for anyone wanting to expand their understanding of women contributions to U. S. history. ============================ International Women’s Day Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women%27s_Day International Women's Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women's Day, is celebrated on March 8 every year.[2] In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation, and love towards women for their economic, political, and social achievements. In some regions, the day lost its political flavor, and became simply an occasion for people to express their love for women in a way somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. In other regions, however, the political and human rights theme designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner. Some people celebrate the day by wearing purple ribbons. ================ US Census Bureau Facts About Women http://www.census.gov/newsroom/facts-for-features/2016/cb16-ff03.html Focus On Empowerment can be heard every Thursday at 1pm Eastern.

The sight of 22 Black women from Howard University was disruptive to her cause. And Southern Whites certainly had no use for them. They were considered the inferior race, prime targets for lynching, discrimination and real violence against women. The time: March 1913. The day before the inauguration of President Elect Woodrow Wilson, who certainly had NO use for Black People or uppity women who did not know their place. Despite all odds and the racial tension of the era, they marched anyway. They held the banner for the organization they had just formed two months earlier. Little did they realize that their act of courage would signal an ultimate victory that gave ALL women the right to vote by 1920. Now 100 years later the 22 gave way to over 300,000 members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. Armed with that historic sense of courage, my organization marched 15,000 strong on March 3, 2013 down the very Washington Streets that the original 22 walked for the cause. I was there on March 3rd, and this show is dedicated to the 22 who made the difference. My name is Carole Copeland Thomas. I am proud member of Delta Sigma Theta, and this is Focus On Empowerment! ======================== Your Comments Are Welcome Below... -Carole How To Download Today's Show •Can't listen live???
