Dr. Angela Howell: Untold Stories of the Suffrage Movement: African American Club Women and the Right to Vote

Dr. Howell’s presentation will examine several compelling case studies of African American suffrage activists. Their stories were discovered as a part of a National Park Service project to create a Story Map linking suffragists with noteworthy places in America. Each account reveals the power of collective action and intersections across the regional, racial, and religious landscape of America. Dr. Angela Howell, associate professor of sociology and anthropology at Morgan State University, describes the inspirational work of these important women in history.
