excerpt from Between Two Worlds: Black Women and the Fight for Voting Rights
Source: The National Park Service
During the 19th and 20th centuries, Black women played an active role in the struggle for universal suffrage. They participated in political
meetings and organized political societies. African American women attended political conventions at their local churches where they planned
strategies to gain the right to vote. In the late 1800s, more Black women worked for churches, newspapers, secondary schools, and colleges,
which gave them a larger platform to promote their ideas
But in spite of their hard work, many people didn't listen to them. Black men and white women usually led civil rights organizations and set the
agenda. They often excluded Black women from their organizations and activities. For example, the National American Woman Suffrage
Association prevented Black women from attending their conventions. Black women often had to march separately from white women in
suffrage parades. In addition, when Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony wrote the History of Woman Suffrage in the 1880s, they
featured white suffragists while largely ignoring the contributions of African American suffragists. Though Black women are less well
remembered, they played an important role in getting the Fifteenth and Nineteenth Amendments passed.
Black women found themselves pulled in two directions. Black men wanted their support in fighting racial discrimination and prejudice, while
white women wanted them to help change the inferior status of women in American society. Both groups ignored the unique challenges that
African American women faced. Black reformers like Mary Church Terrell, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, and Harriet Tubman understood that
both their race and their sex affected their rights and opportunities.
