More about this event:
The 19th Amendment passage was a victory for women who had tirelessly fought for the right to vote. The pictures of the women parading down the street carrying signs only tell one side of the story. In her book, "The Untold Story of Women of Color in the League of Women," Dr. Jefferson-Jenkins shares that women of color were often found in the footnotes rather than in the parades and headlines. Join this discussion to review the past, reflect on the present, and determine personal actions that address a renewed voter suppression movement.
