Patsy Mink became the first Asian-American and woman of color elected to the U.S. House of Representatives on this day in 1964. Mink fought for gender and racial equality, affordable childcare, and bilingual education, and was one of the authors and sponsors of the Title IX law. | The Legal Defense Fund

From its origin and indelible mark left by our own congresswoman Patsy Mink in 1972, UH is proud to celebrate the impact of Title IX. #Wahine50 #GoBows #SISTAHHOOD | University of Hawaii Athletics
