On the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated remembers and honors the lives of the brave men and women tragically lost. We will never forget. #DST1913 #911NationalDayofRemembrance

Since you do not know where you will be when an emergency occurs, prepare supplies for home, work and cars.
Home: Keep this kit in a designated place and have it ready in case you have to leave your home quickly. Make sure all family members know where the kit is kept.
Work: Be prepared to shelter at work for at least 24 hours. Your work kit should include food, water and other necessities like medicines, as well as comfortable walking shoes, stored in a “grab and go” case.
Car: In case you are stranded, keep a kit of emergency supplies in your car.

Today we honor the nearly 3,000 men, women, and children who died on September 11, 2001, and even more who lost their lives in service to our country in the two decades since. We reaffirm our commitment to keep a sacred trust with their families — including the children who lost parents, and who have demonstrated such extraordinary resilience. But this anniversary is also about reflecting on what we’ve learned in the 20 years since that awful morning.

That list of lessons is long and growing. But one thing that became clear on 9/11 — and has been clear ever since — is that America has always been home to heroes who run towards danger in order to do what is right.

For Michelle and me, the enduring image of that day is not simply falling towers or smoldering wreckage. It’s the firefighters running up the stairs as others were running down. The passengers deciding to storm a cockpit, knowing it could be their final act. The volunteers showing up at recruiters’ offices across the country in the days that followed, willing to put their lives on the line.

Over the last 20 years, we’ve seen the same courage and selflessness on display again and again. We saw it a decade ago when, after years of persistence, our military brought justice to Osama bin Laden. And we’re seeing it today — in the doctors and nurses, bone tired, doing what they can to save lives; the servicemembers, some of whom weren’t even born 20 years ago, putting themselves at risk to save Americans and help refugees find a better life; the first responders battling roaring fires and rising waters to bring families to safety. They represent what is best in America, and what can and should bring us together.

9/11 reminded us how so many Americans give of themselves in extraordinary ways — not just in moments of great crisis, but every single day. Let’s never forget that, and let’s never take them for granted. #NeverForget911

After creating your kit, remember to maintain it:
🔺Keep canned food in a cool, dry place.
🔺Store boxed food in tightly closed plastic or metal containers.
🔺Replace expired items as needed.
Re-think your needs every year and update your kit as your family’s needs change.

This Labor Day, we’re celebrating educator, suffragist, civil rights activist,and renowned business woman, Soror Nannie Helen Burroughs. Today marks the 100th anniversary of the National Association of Wage Earners-an organization she headed along with Soror Mary McLeod Bethune. The NAWE’s mission was to increase the wages and elevate the working conditions for Black women in the domestic workforce.

Most notably, in 1909, she founded the National Training School for Women and Girls to educate African American women around the country with a rigorous curriculum that consisted of both ‘academic and vocational courses.’

A prominent suffragist, Soror Nannie, and other Black women organizers, are credited with ‘laying the foundation’ for both the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965! Drop a ♥️ if you’re proud to be a Delta women! #happylaborday
