Haven’t women always been able to vote in the United States? Um, no. Read on. Let’s dive into learning about women’s suffrage and the 19th Amendment, which granted (white) women the right to vote in the United States in 1920. The amendment, however, did not mean that African American women did not face discrimination and violence when they tried to exercise their constitutional right to vote. Indigenous women could not vote until 1924 since they were not considered United States citizens until then, meaning they waited 4 more years than white women to vote. Women of color were disenfranchised until the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Read up in your textbook about this topic, including how black women organized themselves and how they were marginalized by the mainstream white women’s suffrage movement. ⭐ Watch the following videos (30 minutes total) and be caught up on your textbook reading. Also, read the less than 1-minute National Park Service website blurb linked, then answer the questions below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9LmBgY-F5A&t=1s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kuF2qsQL78&t=3s https://www.nps.gov/articles/who-was-excluded-women-s-suffrage.htm ⭐ Grading ⭐ Historical arguments are based on evidence. Consider historians like detectives and lawyers: we’re constantly making and supporting a case with evidence. You’ll need to do the same. Don’t be vague. Your response should be historically specific with evidence, detail, and intersectional analysis. Provide specific quoted and cited evidence from the many resources provided in Module 3, including your assigned reading. Your answers should be your claims supported by direct evidence quotes from the sources. Remember to spell/grammar check before submission. These instructions will apply to all of your discussion questions/writing throughout the course, so practice well now to get the feedback you’ll need to grow in this area throughout our time together this semester. I can’t wait to read what you learned.
