In the video created by KD Hall, “Untold Stories of Black Women,” she discusses the life of Ida B Wells and the great efforts and lengths she went to fight for the equality of African Americans, especially women. She was one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Although born into slavery, she was freed by the emancipation proclamation during the American Civil War and later became a co-owner and wrote for the Memphis free speech and headlight newspaper. A white mob later destroyed the office because of how well known her reporting was becoming nationwide. After 1892, the Alpha Suffrage Club was created in Chicago, the first and most influential black women’s suffrage club in the state. Ida B Wells immediately set out to mobilize and register black men and women voters. When asked to march at the back in 1913, she refused and made her way to the front, taking her place where she belonged. The article /timeline “One Hundred Years toward Suffrage” made me realize how far women have come in their efforts to gain equal rights, but the glass isn’t fully broken. Until 1965, African Americans were granted the full right to vote. It wasn’t until 1923 that the National Woman’s Party first proposed the Equal Rights Amendment, which would eliminate discrimination based on gender. And yet was never ratified till this day. The fight for women has been going on for some time, but it indeed should have started sooner. And yet we are still marching and demanding the same thing.
