Overview and metadata sections

The Women of Color Group was formed with the intention of being a support system for women of color students at Haverford College in the early 1990s. The group published a literary magazine entitled "...And the Colored Girls Go...", organized conferences and symposia, engaged in lettering writing campaigns, and sponsored lectures among other activities. Members of the Women of Color Group helped lead protests for racial justice on Haverford's campus during spring semester 1993. The group was closely associated with Haverford's Women*s Center.
