Harrison | Friday | September 22, 2023 | 4:43 PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New York, NY&#8230; When the black community is looking for beacons and champions of their cause and deliverers of peace of mine and clarity, we know who to turn to; three of the most powerful influential women in modern times. History will remember them not only for their names but for what they did and accomplished. They are New York State Attorney General, Letitia A. James, Commissioner of New York City Department of Probation Juanita N. Holmes, and Television Producer, Actress, Author, &amp; Media Proprietor Oprah G. Winfrey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The consensus, they are loved by almost everyone that knows them or know of them. These are women that have climbed the mountain and looked over and saw the possibilities of where they could move barriers. Essentially, they broke down the glass ceilings, so that little girls in New York, and around the country even the world can forge their way through the jungles of life and find themselves at the top (the pinnacle) of civilization&#8230;where they can nestle and prepare the next generation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We see them every day being the beacons they are &#8230;carrying the torch with or without compromise&#8230;set ablaze fires to later out them and bring about solutions. New York&#8217;s powerhouse AG. James and NYPD Probation&#8217;s Commissioner N. Holmes&#8230; their duties alone we cannot begin to imagine what they must be going through daily to ward off unforeseeable dangers, especially, Commissioner Holmes. They are brave souls that speaks up for us when most of us are asleep.  They go to bat for our beliefs and sweep debris out of our way regardless of who you are, where you come from or your station in life. Through them we see what historical women warriors must have face and gone through during their times and space on earth. Yes, we revere them they&#8217;re our hope. They allow women around the world (us) to be continually hopeful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"654\" height=\"669\" data-id=\"4779\" src=\"https:\/\/bundiblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/juanita-holmes-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bundiblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/juanita-holmes-2.jpg 654w, https:\/\/bundiblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/juanita-holmes-2-293x300.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 654px) 100vw, 654px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Our third influential, G. Winfrey, though far yet close she&#8217;s always in your living rooms. She speaks volumes. One word or a stroke of her pen and you can either be in or out. When you are black and reach her plain or station in life, people usually reach out to you first. It&#8217;s like a rite, done at their level. Governments listen to her&#8230;whatever Oprah wants. We can only pray that she does the right thing by us at all times, and I summarize with her, that is the case. Some of us may not know her literally but, America knows her well and we can be assured that history will favor and remember her forever. There is no forgetting her she will be the second Harriett Tubman, to bring us over the waters by showing us how far we can go with ideas, ambitions and the possibilities given the chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What these intelligent and highly skilled intellectual individuals have in common are they have all made history in their own rights in New York States. Letitia James became the first black women to become State Attorney General, in history of NYS. Juanita Holmes becoming the first black women Commissioner of Probation, in NYS history. And Oprah Winfrey, is the first black woman to anchor a nightly news program at age 19, in Nashville, during the mid-1970s. Winfrey also was the first black woman to have the highest rating Television Talk Show, on television. She is a Television Media Proprietor-have her own TV network, became a billionaire mogul and the first to build a leadership academy for girls in South Africa, and the first to win the Cecil B. DeVille Award&#8230;all, while writing books and being a movie actress. Can we say perseverance for all three women. The surmounts of pressure must be an understatement for all three women to reach Kilimanjaro&#8217;s mountain top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Undeniably, the U.S. is a better place because of what these three women accomplished. This article was not written to boost anyone&#8217;s ego but, is a testament and encouragement for what they showed us can be done with the right guidance and example to girls. It was not long ago that women could not do everything they wanted to do. Their legacy is our legacy, which is already placed in the hands and history books for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"4780\" src=\"https:\/\/bundiblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Oprah-Winfrey-Desktop-Wallpapers9-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bundiblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Oprah-Winfrey-Desktop-Wallpapers9-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/bundiblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Oprah-Winfrey-Desktop-Wallpapers9-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/bundiblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Oprah-Winfrey-Desktop-Wallpapers9-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bundiblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Oprah-Winfrey-Desktop-Wallpapers9-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/bundiblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Oprah-Winfrey-Desktop-Wallpapers9.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BLACK WOMEN IN HISTORY LETITIA A.
