U.S. Rep. Jahana Hayes is the first Black woman to represent Connecticut in Congress .

Members of historically Black sororities and fraternities known as the "Divine Nine " are nonpartisan and barred from endorsing candidates.

Many of the groups' members, as individuals, have been "extremely active" in federal and state races.

Many fraternities and sororities served as training grounds for future civil rights leaders.

The organizations focused on mutual upliftment, educational and personal achievement, civic engagement and a lifelong commitment to community service.

"I want my babies to see me working for a female who looks like their mother," says former state representative Brandon McGee .
