Many of the same
political leaders who are moti
vated to ban books that present
difficult truths about the sins
of America are utterly silent
and unwilling to grapple with
daunting challenges like gun
violence which continues to
plague the communities in
which we live and serve. Issues
like the irresponsibly laxed
availability of assault weap
ons, which has facilitated mass
shootings of American chil
dren, should be countered with
sensible gun legislation to pro
tect the lives of all Americans.
Yet all around us, the
courts and elected officials are
constantly eroding our rights;
including a woman’s right to
bodily autonomy.
A small minority of
Americans appear to wield
outsized influence, leaving the
majority feeling increasingly
disempowered. In the face of
systemic social, political, and
economic injustices, it’s im
possible to overstate the omi
nous impact that overturning
Roe v. Wade will have on the
lives, safety, and wellbeing of
not just women, but men and
families alike. Additionally,
the sheer consequences of in
action at a time such as this
would have a devastating im
pact on the lives and liberties
of many generations to come.
At this pivotal mo
ment in history, the NPHC’s
Council of Presidents reaf
firms our commitment to civic
engagement and through our
chapters, will present pro
gramming to inform our com
munities of the potential con
sequences of laws that would
erode or prevent the expansion
of our rights.
We will stand united
and steadfast in leading and
organizing efforts to oppose re
strictive laws and work to enact
laws that will expand freedoms
for all Americans.
We will continue to
push our members to fully en
gage in the political system as
voters, election volunteers and
elected officials.
And like our organi
zations’ founders and elders,
we’ll use our talents and re
sources to fight against oppres
sion because complacency is
too high a cost to pay today and
sacrifice for future generations.

The first annual Mad
Hatter’s Nursing Scholarship
Brunch was held by the Zeta
Chi Chi chapter of Chi Eta Phi,
Sorority Incorporated, on May
20, 2023. Attendees included
Mayor Van Johnson, who read
a proclamation, and Dr. Bonzo
Reddick, who delivered the
event’s keynote address.
In his address, Dr.
Reddick stressed the need for
self-care, prevention, and the
acceptance of discussing men
tal health. For brunch, the bril
liant Jalin Alexander Graham
entertained the guests with mu
sical selections with his violin.
The event’s decorations, which
included imaginative and vivid
hats, nailed the Alice in Won
derland motif.
The chapter bestowed
monetary awards upon two stu
dents studying nursing at Geor
gia Southern University. The
brunch’s high point came when
R. Patricia Milton, the Zeta
Chi Chi chapter’s chartering
president, was presented with
the chapter’s highest accolade,
the Trailblazer Award. Soror
Milton graciously accepted the
honor, recognizing the charter
members for their help, faith,
and perseverance. The most
memorable occasion was when
the chartering members joined
her as she reminisced about
serving as chapter president.
The chapter’s goal is
to carry on the tradition of hon
oring those who came before
us and contribute to nursing
advancement by investing in
the next generation of nurses.
