Sponsor: Women’s Suffrage: The Untold Story of Black Women in Its History Friday September 25 12-1:30pm, Microsoft Teams This year marks the centennial of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote nationally. The story of the long battle too often excludes the role of Black women who played significant roles in the ratification efforts. This panel conversation 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. It will connect that history to the voting rights activities of the 1960s and voting in 2020 and the Black Lives Matter movement. Moderator:
Panelists:
Co-sponsored by the Brandeis School of Law, Brandeis Law School Diversity Committee and Women’s Law Caucus, UofL Office of Community Engagement, UofL Office of Diversity, UofL Office of Advancement, UofL Women's Center, UofL American Association of University Women, UofL Anne Braden Institute for Social Justice Research. |
