(Second ASSIGNMENT ATTACH BOTH SEPARATELY half page each 15 sentences)
Our first DQ of the week is 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 were
not able to 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 not enfranchised until the Voting Rights
Act of 1965. Read up in your textbook about this topic, including the
way that black women organized themselves and how they were marginalized
by the mainstream white women’s suffrage movement.
Watch
the following two (2) videos (17 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.

QUESTIONS:
What
changes brought about women’s suffrage in the United States? Who helped
to organize the mainstream women’s suffrage movement and what tactics
did these women use? How were women of color marginalized in the
mainstream (white) women’s suffrage movement and was it the same
experience for different groups, such as Black women and Native American
women? Think of the various leaders and ideas within the suffrage and
anti-suffrage movements. Your entire response should be a minimum of 15 sentences with a heavy focus on specific historical details, historical context, and analysis.
