National Association of Colored Women

The National Association of Colored Women (NACW) was established in 1896 to unite and empower African American women in the United States. It aimed to address issues such as racial discrimination, women's rights, and social justice. The NACW focused on community service, education, and advocacy, providing support for various social causes, including the fight against lynching and promoting women's suffrage. By fostering leadership and collaboration among women of color, the organization played a significant role in the broader civil rights movement and helped amplify the voices of African American women in society.
