Virtual Program: More to the Movement: Women of Color in the Struggle for the Vote

The Nineteenth Amendment did not guarantee full voting rights for all women—women of color especially had additional challenges ahead.  Elizabeth A. Novara, American Women’s History Specialist in the Manuscript Division at the Library of Congress, will discuss women of color in the suffrage movement and their continuing struggles after the amendment’s ratification in 1920. She will draw examples from the Library of Congress’s current exhibition, "Shall Not Be Denied: Women Fight for the Vote", and will highlight significant suffrage-related collections available at the Library. Co-sponsored by AARCH (African American Resources Cultural Heritage Society).
