West Virginia’s African-American Women of Distinction

The West Virginia Women’s Commission is partnering with the LINKS Incorporated to produce the second volume of African-American Women of Distinction. Statewide nominations were solicited for this publication and a panel reviewed and selected women to be featured in this book.

This publication compiles the history and recognizes the West Virginia African-American women who participated in shaping the state or the nation and who are, or were, role models as women of achievement for all of those who followed.
