Honoring the remarkable Patsy Mink on her birthday! 🌹 Today, we celebrate the enduring legacy of a true trailblazer with contributions to education, civil rights, and the representation of women and people of color in politics. 

Mink broke numerous barriers as the first woman of color (specifically, the first Asian American woman) elected to the United States Congress. Additionally, she played a pivotal role in co-authoring and sponsoring the landmark legislation Title IX, prohibiting sex-based discrimination in federally funded education programs and activities.👏🏾 #RockTheVote #PatsyMink
