What woman was the first person to chair NOW's Women of Color Task Force?

Question

I know it's either Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Geraldine Miller or Rupert Richardson.

Answer 1

Since its founding in 1966, NOW has worked to oppose racism and support diversity. The late Rev. Pauli Murray, an African American woman and Episcopal minister, was a NOW founder who co-authored its Statement of Purpose. Aileen Hernandez became the second president of NOW in 1971, and two years later NOW established its first task force on women of color.

Geraldine Miller was an activist for decades. She founded Bronx NOW in New York, was the first to chair NOW's Women of Color Task Force and served several times as chair of NOW's committee on Eliminating Racism. She presented many workshops for NOW members and leaders on ending racism, developing a process called "race, class and cultural conflict." Miller received a number of awards for her courage and vision, and recently was inducted into Smith College's Women of Color Hall of Fame in honor of her efforts for household workers.
