“Embracing Change: Honoring Our Great Legacy Through Restructure and Adaptation”
For more than 119 years, the National Association of Colored Women’s Clubs, Inc., has been a leader in igniting and securing the rights of women, children and families. Founded in 1896, we are the oldest women of color organization in the country’s history. The activities and contributions of NACWC, have helped to improve the quality of life for all people, even those in other countries.
Since our inception, we have made significant contributions to uplift and sustain communities in 36 states. Built on the backbone of women like Mary Church Terrell, Margaret Washington, Mary Talbert and Nannie Burroughs, we became and continue to be an important force in our communities.

We are still powerful women who are current on all issues and remain at the forefront of our struggles. Read More...
