"Shortly after the school was founded, the National Organization for 
Women, along with the New York chapter of the ACLU, filed a complaint 
with the federal government on the grounds that the school's existence
was a violation of Title IX. Harlem women rallied to support the 
school, ridiculing NOW's interference as the meddling of middle-class 
white women in a situation they didn't understand."
