Dignity, Equality, and Opportunity for All:
Embedded Files
2022 marks the 50th anniversary of the Patsy Takemoto Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act, better known as Title IX. This exhibit celebrates Patsy Mink and Title IX through the archival collections of the Hawaiʻi Congressional Papers Collection, the University Archives, and the Hawaiian Collection.
The exhibit takes its title from Mink’s 2002 remarks on the 30th anniversary of Title IX:
“I am proud to have been a part of the enactment of Title IX in Congress 30 years ago, and I continue to be proud of its rich and lasting legacy of equal educational opportunities for girls and women. On this 30th anniversary, let us rededicate ourselves to the goals of dignity, equality, and opportunity for all that characterized our dreams for Title IX 30 years ago. These goals are every bit as worthy and important today, in 2002, as they were in 1972.”
