Origin of “Women of Color”

Origin of “Women of Color” 🧐

“when they took the Black Women’s Agenda to Houston, then all the rest of the ‘minority’ women of color wanted to be included in the “Black Women’s Agenda.” Okay, well they agreed, but you could no longer call it the “Black Women’s Agenda”

"People of color" has no connection to the term "colored people" used prior to 1970

It derives from "women of color" which was created to allow non-black women to piggyback onto a "black women's agenda" created for a 1977 feminist conference in Houston
