A few states allowed free Black men to vote and New Jersey included unmarried and widowed women who owned property to vote. It wasn’t until 1870, when the 15th Amendment was ratified, that Black and White men had the right to vote.

We are proud to announce that Charlotte King, Founder and Chair Emeritus of the Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice (SDARJ), will be inducted into the Delaware Women’s Hall of Fame this September. Governor John Carney named Charlotte as one of four women selected for this prestigious honor in 2025.
The history of Black Business Month can be traced back to the year 2004, when engineering entrepreneur Frederick E. Jordan partnered with the president and executive editor of the scholarly publishing company eAccess Corp,’ John William Templeton, to start this annual event.
On behalf of the SDARJ Board, I want to thank you for attending SDARJ’s “Good Trouble Lives On” event.
