From 1992 | The celebration continues

In 1992—the Year of the Woman—EMILY’s List supported eight African American women who were elected to the U.S. House: Corrine Brown, Eva Clayton, Barbara-Rose Collins, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Eddie Bernice Johnson, Cynthia McKinney, Carrie Meek, and Maxine Waters . Also in 1992, Carol Moseley Braun became the first woman of color to win a U.S. Senate seat.
