It wasn't until the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act that all African Americans were granted the full right to vote, but the fight began in the 1800s alongside the women's suffrage movement. KD Hall presents a documentary that delves into the lives of the women who were leaders in the fight for equal rights for African Americans, especially women. Ida B. Wells was an African American investigative journalist, educator, and early leader in the civil rights movement. The Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. was started by 22 college women in 1913 who marched with suffragettes and took a stand on social justice. Born into slavery in 1858, Anna Julia Cooper triumphed against the odds to receive a world-class education eventually receiving a PhD at the age of 67. Explore the untold stories of black women in the women's suffrage movement.

we are always seemingly in the back but everyone looking to us for what to do.

Appreciate this content because far too often I see women's history month not incorporate black women's contributions and the lack of highlighting it points to a problem with traditional US feminism and who it centers.

Ida B. Wells book Southern Horrors made such a impact on me while studying history in college, now as a parent I have made all of my teenage children read her book. Hopefully someday they will have their own children read her powerful book.
