The National Association of Colored Women grundlægges af Mary
Church Terrell i Washington DC.
The National Association of Colored Women (NACW) was established in Washington. Its two leading members were Josephine Ruffin and Mary Church Terrell. Founders also included some of the most renowned African-American women educators, community leaders, and civil-rights activists in America, including: Harriet Tubman, Frances E.W. Harper, Margaret Murray Washington, Ida B. Wells-Barnett. The original intention of the organization was "to furnish evidence of the moral, mental and material progress made by people of colour through the efforts of our women." However, over the next ten years the NACW became involved in campaigns favoring women's suffrage and opposing lynching and Jim Crow laws. By the time the United States entered the First World War, membership had reached 300,000.
