Continuing Her Legacy
A passionate champion of children, Ms. Bettye Davis (1938-2018) became the first elected African American woman to serve in the Alaska State House of Representatives from 1990 to 1996, and in 2000, Senator Davis became the first African American ever to be elected to the Alaska State Senate.
Senator Davis served on many local and national councils, task forces, and boards. She received countless awards for her service and dedication to Alaska and our community.
Bettye Davis hosted the first African American Summit. The Alaska Black Caucus is proud to continue her legacy and remember her through the annual Bettye Davis African American Summit.
It wasn't all about getting money. Bettye stood for kids.
Bettye went to Juneau to do the right thing... always.
