For many years, the Westchester Black Women’s Political Caucus, Inc., has had a long-standing tradition of holding the Sunday morning conference breakfast with NYSABPRL. The breakfast attendees represent various unions with strongholds in New York State as well as many key political officials and community leaders.
Honorees have been African American women and men who have made valuable contributions to their respective communities or their chosen profession through a variety of endeavors, such as politics, business, health, human/community services, education, religion, and support of the unions.

The Black Law Students Association at Albany Law School represents an important community of scholars and future legal professionals dedicated to advancing justice and serving communities throughout Albany, NY and beyond. Rooted in Albany Law's 174-year history of legal education excellence, this student organization embodies the school's mission to educate and empower leaders committed to creating meaningful change in society.
Albany Law School, founded in 1851, holds the distinction of being the nation's oldest independent law school. The institution has produced influential alumni including U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Thomas J. Vilsack, and numerous state judges and legal leaders. This legacy of producing accomplished professionals who contribute to government, public service, and community leadership continues through organizations like the Black Law Students Association.
The association provides essential support, mentorship, and community building for Black law students navigating legal education and professional development. Members benefit from Albany Law's comprehensive commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as innovative experiential learning opportunities designed to connect students directly with real-world legal practice. The school's location in Albany, New York's capital, provides unique access to state courts, government agencies, and legal institutions where students can engage in meaningful work addressing housing justice, criminal law, and other pressing community needs.
Through the Black Law Students Association, students develop not only sophisticated understanding of legal policy and doctrine but also the professional competencies and ethical commitment that define the Albany Law experience. The organization reflects the school's broader vision of cultivating creative problem-solvers and change-agents who will shape the future of law and justice.
