West Point will Graduate 32 Black Women in their 2019 Class – Largest Group Ever

For the 2019 graduating class at West Point, 32 black women will be joining that elite class of graduates. This is the single largest graduating class in the history of the academy.

Because Of Them We Can reports 32 Black women graduated from West Point.

Cadet Tiffany Welch-Baker told the outlet, “My hope when young Black girls see these photos is that they understand that regardless of what life presents you, you have the ability and fortitude to be a force to be reckoned with.” She also said, “In just a short while I met so many cadets that looked like me, and that offered me some comfort. I have been fortunate to have my sisters in arms, we have been fortunate to have each other.”

Thank you for bringing this truly amazing story to light and sharing what a bright future we have ahead.
