Queen Latifah Instagram – For this #WomensEqualityDay let’s remember the work of so many who fought for the right to vote and had to continue the fight even after the 19th amendment Repost from @leaninorg • Tomorrow is #WomensEqualityDay, which commemorates the ratification of the #19thamendment. While the 19th amendment gave some women the right to vote, it’s crucial to highlight that not all women were granted the same privilege. So, we’re re-sharing this oldie, but goodie to recognize the women of color who played a pivotal role in its passage. ⁠⠀⁠⁠ ⁠⠀⁠⁠ Among other things, they founded women’s rights organizations, led marches, and spoke out through journalism—and their activism extended far beyond. For decades after the passage of the Amendment, these women continued to speak out about fundamental rights denied to their communities. We are highlighting five of these women today, but there are so many more who did inspiring and meaningful work. ⁠
