Happy Women's History Month RDTAC,
Women’s History Month first became a national celebration in 1982, though the first celebration was Women’s History Week. A few years later, it expanded into a full month of honoring women’s roles in society, thanks to a petition from the National Women’s History Project, which led the president to proclaim March of each year as Women’s History Month. Let's celebrate all women and especially the women in your lives. The March RDTAC meeting will be this Saturday, March 7th at 2:00 pm at the Durham Library located at 300 N Roxbury Street, Durham, 4th floor, room 4311 at 2:00 pm. Please note the date change. As mentioned in the previous email, I will be in Wilmington on the 14th attending the quarterly North Carolina Parliamentarians Meeting. My apologies for any inconvenience. The agenda is attached and the Zoom link is: As always, we will be patronizing a black-owned restaurant after the meeting. The restaurant chosen, again, is Nerra, 506 Ramseur Street, Durham 27701. We had such a great time in January, it was requested to go back again. 🙂 See you Saturday! Alicia F.

Happy Black History Month RDTAC,
Carter G. Woodson is credited with the creation of Negro History Week in 1926, the precursor to what evolved into Black History Month. It was made a national holiday in 1976, when President Gerald Ford recognized Black History Month, and it became the month-long celebration that we know today. During this month, I encourage each of you to do one or more of the following:

Homecoming 101: The Renaissance
Happy TU Homecoming RDTAC! Unfortunately, I will not be attending this year. I've been traveling extensively this fall and decided to stay put. If any alumni are attending homecoming, please let me know. Thank You to all the members who donated & attended the Morehouse/TU Watch Party. Although TU lost the game, we still had a great time fellowshipping & connecting. Please see the pictures below with the President of the Morehouse Club, Terry L. Peterkin II, and the 2nd Vice President, Xavier Larkin. We're hoping to connect again during basketball season. RDTAC, the 2026 calendar is complete. We will be distributing them at the November meeting next Saturday, the 8th. We ask that every member take 10 calendars to sell or donate the $. Remember, this is how we raise money for the annual scholarship ($1,000) and our endowment fund. The November RDTAC meeting will be at the Durham Library located at 300 N Roxbury Street, Durham, room 4347(4th floor) at 2:00 pm. The agenda and the Zoom link will be sent next week. After the meeting we are dining at Dame's Chicken & Waffles located at 455 S Driver Street, Durham, as always, to support black businesses. Please note the new address. The new site is larger and the parking is easier. Bring cash, as it will be 1 ticket for the entire group. Enjoy Homecoming and see you next Saturday! Alicia F. Wiley, ’94 & ‘97 President, Raleigh-Durham Tuskegee Alumni Club (RDTAC) Even though Tuskegee did not come out victorious, the Raleigh-Durham Alumni Club and the Morehouse Triangle Alumni Association had a wonderful night of fun and fellowship this past weekend. We want to thank everyone who came out to watch the game. We'll get them back next year! 🏈
