The Westchester Black Women’s Political Caucus has a long standing tradition in holding our Annual Leadership Breakfast every Sunday morning of the NYS Association of Black and Puerto Rican Legislators‘ Annual Conference Weekend (conference schedule) in Albany, NY at the Hotel Albany- Hilton Hotels & Resorts (formerly Crowne Plaza Albany) and in 2012, our 31st, was even better!   We honored:

• The Vulcan Society for their persistence and ground breaking court case to increase minorities/minority recruitment within the NY Fire Department
• The distinguished men of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity for their determination in bringing the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial on the Washington DC Mall to fruition
• The Honorable Ken Jenkins and the Honorable Lyndon Williams as the first duo African-American Chair and Vice Chair of the Westchester County Board of Legislators

The icing on the cake was the keynote presentation, which was offered by Elinor Tatum, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of the New York Amsterdam News, one of the oldest African-American newspapers in the country!

Here are some of the pictures from the morning…
