Abstract
Lois Carson discusses her involvement in founding the San Bernardino section of NCNW alongside Amina Carter in 1968. The organization primarily focused on serving Black women, however, it was deeply involved with sponsoring youth programs such as Checkmates and Creative Careers for Youth. She played a role championing other sections throughout Southern California, including Perris, Moreno Valley, High Desert, Orange County. Furthermore, she mentions how she conceptualized the idea for the Twinning Program and the importance of cross-cultural exchange with Africa. “Think globally, act locally” is a phrase that has guided her work throughout her life.
