Honoring a Civil Rights Giant: Dr. Hazel N. Dukes (1932–2025)
This Women’s History Month, we pay tribute to Dr. Hazel N. ("Ma" or "Mama") Dukes , a trailblazer who spent over seven decades fighting for racial justice, DEI, and social change. A powerhouse leader, she:
✔️ Broke barriers as the first Black woman in the Nassau County Attorney’s Office (1966)
✔️ Led as NAACP New York State Conference President and National President (1989–1992)
✔️ Advocated for fair housing, voting rights, and education equity
✔️ Swore in New York Governor Kathy Hochul and mentored generations of political leaders
✔️ Was honored at her funeral by Hillary Clinton and countless others who recognized her lasting impact
Her legacy stands alongside legendary women like Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Shirley Chisholm, and Rosa Parks—whom she personally knew as a child in Montgomery Alabama.
