A past president of the National Congress of Neighborhood Women, Miller ran a workshop for NCNW’s Project Open Doors that brought to light similarities and shared concerns of homemakers and household workers, braking down the barriers of class and race. Up to the time she passed a the age of 85, Miller was dedicated to and involved in the women’s rights movement. In 204, she was honored with the President’s Award at the National NOW Conference and was a guiding force in the Women of Color and Allies summit. She founded Bronx NOW in New York, was the first to chair NOW’s Women of Color Task Force and served several times as chair of NOW’s committee on Eliminating Racism. Miler received a number of awards for her courage and vision, and recently was inducted into Smith College’s Women of color Hall of Fame in honor of her efforts for household workers.. In 1974, Miler founded the Household Technicians Union to endure equal rights for women who work mainly “under the table” as maids, nannies and cooks. Starting when she was a teenage, Miller worked in hotels, restaurants, kitchens an primarily in private homes, and she knew the struggles it took just to get by. The union put pressure on employers to comply with minimum wage standards an Social Security laws.  In 1974, Miller worked closely with Rep. Shirley Chisholm to help household workers win the right to be included in the Federal Minimum Wage Act. Miller adopted as her mantra the phrase “each one,” which is baed on an ancient African and African-American concept and was used by Chisholm.
