The Congress of Black Women of Canada (CBWC)/Congrès des Femmes Noirs du Canada (CFNC) published the Congress News as its newsletter with reports of its activities as well as articles on issues of racism and the experiences of Black Women.
Congress News is a Congress of Black Women of Canada publication.
The Congress of Black Women of Canada (CBWC) was first convened in Toronto in 1973 under the sponsorship of the Canadian Negro Women’s Association (CANEWA) which had been organizing since 1951. Due to the common concerns highlighted in the discussions, the idea of a national organization for Black Women was born. Nationally and locally, the Congress has discussed, grappled, and acted on common issues which affect black women and their families across Canada.
