Congratulations to the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) which recently convened it's 60th National Convention in Washington, DC as well as celebrated it's 85th anniversary on December 5th! The Ladies Auxiliary of the Knights of Peter Claver is 1 of 30+ regional / national member organizations having affiliate membership in the NCNW. Our Ladies were well represented at the convention and serve in various leadership roles with the organization.
The National Council of Negro Women is an “organization of organizations” (comprised of 300 campus and community-based sections and 32 national women’s organizations) that enlightens, inspires and connects more than 2,000,000 women and men. Its mission is to lead, advocate for, and empower women of African descent, their families and communities. NCNW was founded in 1935 by Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, an influential educator and activist, and for more than fifty years, the iconic Dr. Dorothy Height was president of NCNW. Johnnetta Betsch Cole was elected Chair of NCNW in 2018, ushering in a new era of social activism and continued progress and growth for the organization.
Today, NCNW’s programs are grounded on a foundation of critical concerns known as “Four for the Future”. NCNW promotes education with a special focus on science, technology, engineering and math; encourages entrepreneurship, financial literacy and economic stability; educates women about good health and HIV / AIDS; promotes civic engagement and advocates for sound public policy and social justice.

Ordained as a deacon for St. Bernadette in 1979, Adams spent almost 50 years serving his community. Funeral services for Deacon Adams are as follows:
