According to Catalyst.org, previous evaluations have shown that black women living in America make up about 12.9% of the overall female population. Unfortunately, within the United States, black women have continuously gone under-appreciated, under-rated, and unrecognized.
The incredibly courageous, heroic, and inspiring actions of Harriet Tubman as an abolitionist, public speaker, union civil war leader, leader of multiple open-door policy fundraisers, women's rights activist, and founder of the Harriet Tubman Home for The Aged has extraordinarily assisted the freedoms, rights, and well-being of American black women. Today, Kamala Harris's remarkable journey of becoming the first women of color to serve as the United States' Vice President is yet another influential story, as Harris was previously San Fransisco's first women of color to serve as their District Attorney, and also the second ever women of color to serve as the United States' Senator in 2016.

Another evaluation that Catalyst.org analyzed upon their webpage was that in 2017-2018, the total percentage of black American women who earned their bachelor's degrees was at a 11.4%, which is a decreased percentage compared to the highest percentage reached back in 2011-2012 at 12.3%. Although many American citizens may not be in a politically active, justice enforcing, or socially influential position to help directly affect the many unethical and corrupt social issues in our nation, there are still many advantageous organizations that are providing support to black American women who are in need of assistance.
These four organizations listed below primarily fight and address racial and gender barriers that black women and girls often encounter, design and develop projects to make social changes in their communities, promote social awareness campaigns through community leadership activities, and indorse health advocacy support systems. Ultimately, donations to these organizations will directly go towards improving participants' skills and knowledge about financial literacy, political policies, mental health services (along with self-care information), and by helping black American women receive true justice upon areas like economic marginalization and other social inequality circumstances.
