E. Faye Williams is the chair of the National Congress of Black Women, a nonprofit group founded in 1984. It claims 20,000 members nationwide, mostly professional black women. Williams, a law school graduate who also has a doctorate and serves as a health care company executive, is leading her group in a campaign to have a statue of famed abolitionist and women’s rights activist Sojourner Truth placed in the U.S. Capitol.
