OHBM Membership Spotlight: We salute our extraordinary One Hundred Black Men of New York Board Member, on his selection as one of City and State’s Trailblazers in Healthcare!

Jonnel’s dedication, leadership, and unwavering commitment to improving healthcare access and equity are truly inspiring. His impactful work is making a difference in our communities, and this recognition is a testament to his passion and perseverance.

Join us in celebrating Jonnel’s remarkable achievement and his vital contributions to the field of healthcare! Congratulations, Jonnel!

Today marks an extraordinarily significant day in our history: February 3, 1870, when the 15th Amendment was ratified. This pivotal amendment granted Black men the right to vote, a monumental step toward equality in our democracy. However, we must acknowledge the harsh reality that followed. Despite this constitutional promise, Southern states employed poll taxes, literacy tests, and even threats of violence to systematically disenfranchise Black voters.

It wasn’t until the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965—almost a century later—that the true spirit of the 15th Amendment began to be realized. On this day, we honor the unsung heroes of the civil rights movement who fought tirelessly for voting rights and laid the groundwork for future generations. Their courage and resilience remind us that the struggle for justice and equality is ongoing. Let us continue to stand in solidarity and ensure that every voice is heard and every vote is counted.
