By Susan Ware Susan Ware is Honorary Women’s Suffrage Centennial Historian at Harvard’s Schlesinger Library and author of"Why They Marched: Untold Stories of the Women Who Fought for the Right to Vote.
For too long, the history of how women won the right to vote has closely paralleled Catt’s suffrage forest: top-heavy and dominated by a few iconic leaders, all white and native-born.
The voices of African American suffragists are not the only ones that have been overlooked. Thousands of unheralded women representing a vibrant mix of regions, races and generations came together in one of the most significant moments of political mobilization in all of American history.
Black women are Americans. Why does WAKO scream hate. . I don't descriminate.
Correction: Erased by the MSM of the time, black people were erased from history.
It is time to get over it. Weaklings need special treatment instead of equal rights. No one alive in America has ever been a slave. No one alive in America owns slaves. Women in America are treated better than any where on earth
Why does there have to be a color at the center? Why can't it just be Women's Suffrage... ?
The time has come
