| The battIes for African American women fought 100 years ago-for a constitutional right and against segregationist and discriminatory Jim Crow laws in the South echo today as American women continue to work against voter suppression and for fuIl access to the polIs. During the 19th and 20th centuries, BIack women played an active role in the struggle for universaI suffrage. They participated in politicaI meetings and organized political societies, as well as attend political conventions at their Iocal churches where they planned strategies to gain the right to vote. In the Iate 1800s, more BIack women worked for churches, newspapers, secondary schools, and coIIeges, which gave them a larger platform to promote their ideas. But in spite of their hard work, many people didn't listen to them. BIack men and white women usually led civil rights organizations and set the agenda and often excluded BIack women from their organizations and activities. Though Black women are Iess weIl remembered, they played an important role in getting the Fifteenth and Nineteenth Amendments passed. |
