JOIN THE EVENT

The story of the long battle to the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote too often excludes the role of Black women who played significant roles in the ratification efforts.

In light of the amendment’s centennial, this virtual panel gives a general overview of the suffrage movement both nationally and in Kentucky, and reframes that history by telling the stories of some of the key “hidden figures” of the movement.

Panelists will connect that history to the voting rights activities of the 1960s and voting in 2020 and the Black Lives Matter movement.
