I felt that the reading “100 Years toward Suffrage: An Overview”, and the video Untold Stories of Black Women in the Suffrage Movement teaches a lot and helped give me a deeper perspective on women’s suffrage, and the immense contribution by Black women. I see that with many other things Black contribution is glossed over, and a large amount of the credit is lost. I feel that this kind of material is really important to go over, especially with something so important. I also think that the stories in the video give these events a sense of how difficult it was for some of these women, and how hard they worked to bring about the change that they wanted to see. Many people with crucial roles in these movements such as Ida B. Wells genuinely do sometimes go unnoticed. I have a newfound appreciation for how far back a lot of these things were established, and all of the activists that contributed to these things.
