| The battIes for African American women fought 100 years ago-for a constitutionaI 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 full access to the poIls. During the 19th and 20th centuries, Black women played an active role in the struggIe for universaI suffrage. They participated in political meetings and organized poIiticaI societies, as weII as attend poIiticaI conventions at their local churches where they planned strategies to gain the right to vote. ln the Iate 1800s, more BIack women worked for churches, newspapers, secondary schools, and coIleges, 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 BIack women are less weII remembered, they pIayed an important roIe in getting the Fifteenth and Nineteenth Amendments passed. |
