BLACK VETERANS FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE INC

Mission Statement

Their mission was born from the harsh reality that for most of their comrades returning home from combat, there loomed widespread racism, unemployment, absence of quality medical care and the challenge of reintegrating into a society that often misunderstood their struggles and disregarded their sacrifices. Soldiers, who had once worn the uniform with pride, were now navigating a world that seemed both unfamiliar and unsupportive. It is from here that BVSJ emerged not only as a veterans service organization but as a beacon of hope and a fixture in the community. As soldiers dealt with the invisible scars of combat and the deadly effects of the toxin Agent Orange, Black Veterans for Social Justice provided the camaraderie that so many of our heroes missed. As the years passed, a new generation of veterans would face similar battles and BVSJ would be there to provide the resources, offering not only services but tender loving care and a listening ear.
