AAHC brooklyn history community partner Women's History Month

Following Women’s History Month, we invite you to join The Eastern District United Orders of Tents J.J.G. & J.U. for another chat with Tents members, where we’ll explore the lasting legacy of Black women as organizers through the history and lens of The United Order of the Tents, a 154-year-old benefit society centered on abolition and dedicated to wellness in Black communities across America. 

Founded and led by Black women, it is the oldest organization of its kind with chapters nationwide, including the Grand United Order of the Tents located at 87 Macdonough Street in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. 

There will be a special conversation with members of the Tents, as they journey through their roots as pillars of the Underground Railroad to the guiding principles that inform their community work which has sustained the livelihood of Brooklyn residents for decades. There will be time allotted for Q & A.

This program will be held over Zoom, so access to an electronic device with that application is required. The link to sign in will be sent one hour before the presentation.
