Remember the Suffragists: Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, Zitkála-Šá, Mary Church Terrell, and Maria Guadalupe Evangelina de Lopez - S2E2

This Women's Equality Day (August 26) marks the 103rd anniversary of the certification of the 19th Amendment, which guarantees voting rights for American women. Learn about Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, Zitkála-Šá, Mary Church Terrell, and Maria Guadalupe Evangelina de Lopez, four of the many women of color who participated in the suffrage movement. They did so despite the racist federal, state, and local laws and policies — not the 19th Amendment itself — that prevented most women (and men) of color from being able to exercise their right to vote.
