We learn about an inspiring black lady, Ida B Wells, in the video Untold Stories of Black Women. She was an NAACP pioneer who advocated for the equality of black women. She was strong despite the fact that she had lost both of her parents at the age of sixteen. She assisted in caring for her siblings after being born into slavery but subsequently emancipated following the Emancipation Proclamation. I was able to obtain a lot deeper and more in-depth grasp of the history of these movements that led to today’s societal developments. They also explain how African American women battled for their independence and social rights. The timeline explains and provides us a feel of what female activists achieved to ensure that everyone in society had the same equal rights.

This week’s video recounted the experiences of women throughout history and how their contributions to this cause have resulted in much of the freedom we have today. The movie demonstrates how black women are devalued in households where men are considered the leader of the home. Women battled tooth and nail for the right to vote. The documentary also portrays and reflects the fight between radicals and conservatives, as well as male dominance and women’s rights. They strove to abolish slavery and the partial ownership of women. “I will chop off this right arm of mine before I ever work or demand the ballot for the Negro and not the women,” Susan B. Anthony remarked. Women’s suffrage talks help us comprehend the motivations behind the movement, and understanding our history helps us recognize what we can do for our future.
