Donya-Shae Gordon- Reading Reflection 6

The untold Stories of Black Women in the suffrage movement youtube video was very inspirational and powerful. Ida B Wells stood up for the oppression of African American to be punished by lynching. Susan B Anthony fought for the rights for women to have equal pay, and the right of labor. These two women paed the way for women right and women of color to have rights. Their activatism helped shaped the world we know today, there are women of color working in all fields. Today day we have a black women vice president leading the United States. Ida story of loosing her family and having to raise her siblings reminds me of my grandmother. My grandmother mother passed during child birth leaving behind my grand and 4 younger sisblings. My granmother used to feed them, care for them and teach them. Living in proverty she wasnt assited in doing this things and insetad had to work at a young age to provide. My grandmother also became a teacher and migrated to US for a better life for her and her siblings, she was elementry school teach for over 30 years and have since retired. Women opressions isnt over flly here in America or around the world, but thanks to women standing up we are paving a way.
