This Black History Month, we honor Mabel Broome, the first Black officer in The Salvation Army [commissioned in 1915 in Chicago].

Her courage and faith helped open doors for generations to come, paving the way for greater representation and leadership within the movement. Through her service, Mabel Broome embodied a commitment to God, community, and the mission of doing the most good.

We are grateful for her legacy and the foundation she helped build.
