During the 19th and 20th centuries, Black women played an active role in the struggle for universal suffrage. They participated in political meetings and
organized political societies. African American women attended political conventions at their local churches where they planned strategies to gain the right to
vote. In the late 1800s, more Black women worked for churches, newspapers, secondary schools, and colleges, which gave them a larger platform to promote
their ideas.
But in spite of their hard work, many people didn't listen to them. Black men and white women usually led civil rights organizations
set the agenda. They
often excluded Black women from their organizations and activities. For example, the National American Woman Suffrage Association prevented Black women
from attending their conventions. Black women often had to march separately from white women in suffrage parades. In addition, when Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and Susan . Anthony wrote the History of Woman Suffrage in the 1880s, they featured white suffragists while largely ignoring the contributions of
African American suffragists. Though Black women are less well remembered, they played an important role in getting the Fifteenth and Nineteenth
Amendments passed.
Black women found themselves pulled two directions. Black men wanted their support in fighting racial discrimination and prejudice, while white women
wanted them to help change the inferior status of women in American society. Both groups ignored the unique challenges hat African American women faced.
Black reformers Eke Mary Church Terrell, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, and Harriet Tubman understood that both their race and their sex affected their rights
and opportunities.
