Cevap
The correct answer is the National Association of Colored Women (NACW), which was established following Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin's 1895 call to organize Black women's clubs to address both racial uplift and gender-specific issues.
The correct answer is the National Association of Colored Women (NACW). Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin's 1895 address at the First National Conference of a Colored Women in Boston served as the primary catalyst for combining the National Federation of Afro-American Women and the Colored Women's League. This merger formed the NACW in 1896 under the leadership of Mary Church Terrell, aiming to combat racial discrimination, support education and suffrage, and directly counter racist attacks on the moral character of Black women.
