White women were welcome - but as spectators, not subjects. The massive campus of the Fair showcased the achievements of white men. Women were barred from the board, relegated to a “Board of Lady Managers” - which sounded silly even then. Women’s work was limited to 1 building. Women’s art, inventions, accomplishments were absent from the other pavilions: Labor, Transportation, Art, etc. But as Gail Bederman said, at least white women got a building. Black women got next to nothing. A handful of speaking slots, a seat on one state’s board (for NY statistician Joan Imogen Howard), and one clerical post. More than 2 years before the fair opened, Black women vigorously protested their exclusion. They published a circular: “Shall the Negro Women of this country have a creditable display of their labor and skill at the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893? The Board of Lady Managers, created by an act of Congress, says no.” “Shall five million of Negro women allow a small number of white women to ignore them in this, the grandest opportunity to manifest their talent and ability in this, the greatest expression of the age? The Board of Lady Managers, created by an act of Congress, says no.” The Lady Managers were unmoved. <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/27553128?seq=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Historian Anne Massa cited a Georgia member</a> who "expressed the prevalent Lady Managers' belief that some white woman must be behind such articulate and sustained protests.” A year before the fair opened, Hallie Q. Brown - professor, author, club leader, suffragist - proposed to the head Lady Manager that if she would not be allowed a seat on that board, she should at least be hired to coordinate an exhibit on Black women’s achievements. “Are nine million of American Citizens to be humiliated in the eyes of the world by the absence of even one black face in the administrative corpus of the Fair?” Hallie gave a speech at the 15th Street Presbyterian Church in Washington, demanding a seat among the Lady Managers. Invoking scripture, Brown sought "Like Esther of old to make supplication, officially, for the people.” The Lady Managers offered Hallie Brown a secretarial position they knew she would refuse, and she did. As the opening of the fair grew near, Fannie Barrier Williams swallowed hard and took an _unsalaried_ clerical job, rather than have no Black professional representation at all. Tune in tomorrow for which women got to speak in the White City. #BlackSuffragists #Suffrage100 Title A name given to the resource The White City Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 09/03/2020 1893 Chicago World's Fair Racism https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/53651/archive/files/cb04ebcc10d79ebe608799da72c3d7bb.png?Expires=1790208000&Signature=drl5stgOQBp%7EqQ9zOZETh76D8Fxv-vVtvt1D7m2njCRtdLbFhYf6He5aH3IjHfMn7II722VLhVA%7EJPE2-kPsRGDrI3F0w-HUgs8%7Eqq15176xrnQzqeHBSnbnaZZMi6Y4jymX3WSD9kDkgFvI7UoaekdCREcguvb2Up9hNLZVXCKZhOvgIVTq1VmpAsrLxsWszXLcBUlRJvWptODOGBKx4tf2CNrw42npAfokvx4ElyLP96eIZaGorTRMqQ1Y2FRZeIKBYp6T6qWv3LBxUD9FzppHEIlUx1xapCnOBpUb0qUQMyP2e8uZR4TeXVoe65tCbso0ykxDTwNEOKi3bkw6AQ__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM 8b6ce5a075dad12ac2b822d43c7a1210 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Feb. 3 is now recognized as its ratification date. But back in 1870, it wasn’t proclaimed part of the Constitution for another 8 weeks. Therein lies not a mere technicality, but an important truth about Reconstruction. So, a thread: — Stephen West (@Stephen_A_West) <a href="https://twitter.com/Stephen_A_West/status/1224354747223879682?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 3, 2020</a></blockquote> So let’s spend a little more time on what it said, and the pattern it set. The 15th Amendment says “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” The 19th Amendment - which was first drafted in 1870 in hope and belief that it would be the 16th Amendment - says “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” The 24th Amendment was added to the Constitution in 1964, before Congress passed the Voting Rights Act. It says: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay poll tax or other tax.” Note that the 24th Amendment only applies to federal elections. All of our voting amendments are negative commandments: they tell states what they CAN’T do, but they don’t affirmatively guarantee all citizens the right to vote. This wasn’t an accident - it reflects what was thought possible under the severe restrictions we must work within. Because the Constitution gave white men all the power, +extra to Southern white men, these restrictions on that power are the most we’ve been able to amend it. They haven’t been enough. Each amendment gives Congress the power to “enforce this article by appropriate legislation.” Congress did so after the 15th Amdt, but the Supreme Court nullified those laws. Life for African-Americans in the South reverted to slavery-like conditions for another hundred years. After the passage of the 19th Amendment, Congress did nothing. In 1920 Black women in Southern states should have been protected as new voters, but instead they got an equal share of nothing. Marking the centennial of the 19th & sesquicentennial of the 15th, we can see a pattern. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/07/opinion/15th-amendment-voting-anniversary.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">In today’s op-ed on the 15th Amdt</a> @<a href="https://twitter.com/jessewegman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">JesseWegman</a> describes the shortcomings of this pattern. It’s a good summary, though I disagree with his conclusion that “Today’s efforts to reduce voting are rooted more in partisanship than in race.” I appreciate that @jessewegman twice acknowledges that women were excluded from the 15th Amendment. My hope, though, is that we can all shift the language we use when we talk about women’s suffrage. Women didn’t “get” the right to vote. We didn’t “wait” for it. We worked and worked and worked and after the 19th Amdt we continued to work. The goal of @DailySuffragist is for people today to know how much work women did to win the vote and protect it. Nobody gave us anything.

Launching The Crisis magazine was a risk, but by 1912 it had a circulation of 27,000. Its first special issue was devoted to women’s suffrage. 🧵 DuBois’ editorial introduced the issue, whose cover featured the great suffragist Frederick Douglass. DuBois wrote: "Why should the colored voter be interested in woman’s suffrage? ...First, it is a great human question. h "Nothing human must be foreign, uninteresting or unimportant to colored citizens of the world. Whatever concerns half mankind concerns us. Secondly, any agitation, discussion or reopening of the problem of voting must inevitably be a discussion of the right of black folk to vote in America and Africa…. Finally, votes for women mean votes for black women…. We sincerely trust that the entire Negro vote will be cast for woman suffrage in the coming elections in Ohio, Kansas, Wisconsin and Michigan.” #Suffrage100 #CenturyofStruggle #BlackSuffragists Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Daily Suffragist Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived <a href="https://twitter.com/DailySuffragist/status/1261121368231477255" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Original thread.</a> Title A name given to the resource W.E.B.

But supporters of the 15thA were not anti-racist. In fact, the supporters were the more conservative, cautious, and upper-class of what became two factions (both of which were almost all white). 2. Why were 15th Amendment supporters so determined to proceed without women’s inclusion? One explanation is that while all of these folks had been abolitionists AND women’s rights advocates, they drew different conclusions from the Civil War. 3. The women’s rights movement grew in the soil of abolitionism. Its leaders were passionate abolitionists and political ideologues. When their animating passion - the eradication of slavery - came true in a cataclysm, different people saw different lessons. 4. Stanton & Anthony believed the world had been utterly rearranged, and women’s liberation--or at least political participation--was winnable too. Others wanted to keep their eye on the prize of Black freedom and power, and thought women’s empowerment would endanger that cause. 5. Does this kind of tension sound familiar? It’s not unique to suffrage. In more recent history, it played out in the LGBT movement, which argued for decades about whether to include transgender people in anti-discrimination laws. 6. Trans proponents said “later” could mean never; opponents said the mainstream wasn’t ready, and some improvement was better than none. The tensions are still present, but queers have increasingly come to see that we will all hang together in the end. #Suffrage100 #KnowYour19th Title A name given to the resource We'll come back for you later...

Description An account of the resource Ida B Wells’ crusade against lynching succeeded for many reasons: her investigative rigor, her talent as a writer and speaker, her relentlessness. But her first, crucial insight was recognizing that white women were lying. Thread. Until Ida published her exposés, most people - including African-Americans - believed that men who were lynched had done _something_ wrong. Allegations they had raped a white woman or child were assumed to contain a grain of truth, though the punishment was disproportionate. When Ida B Wells’ <a href="https://dailysuffragist.omeka.net/items/show/166" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">close friend was lynched,</a> she was struck by a lightning bolt - that moment we know what we’ve been told is a lie. She set out to prove the real circumstances of Thomas Moss’ murder and the murders of so many other lynching victims. She documented that most of the accusations were invented out of whole cloth by white men. Others were cover-ups for consensual interracial relationships that white women were hiding, or both parties were terrified to reveal. Catching <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/08/nyregion/amy-cooper-false-report-charge.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">#AmyCooper,</a> the white woman in Central Park, lying in real time is both confirming and crushing. We see her untouched, unmenaced, breathlessly crying to 911, “I am being threatened!” I imagine Ida looking down, satisfied: “See, I told you white women lie.” Crushing because even now, when white women are free to fuck whomever we want - when we can work and vote and run for office and marry whomever we choose - we are still so quick to exploit the power of racism when we don’t get our way.

I know a lot about suffrage for a non-academic, and I had never heard her name before the @<a href="https://twitter.com/smithsoniannpg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">smithsonianNPG</a> exhibit. In “America’s Joan of Arc,” her biographer Matt Gallman gave 3 reasons for her obscurity: *She alienated everybody. In the fight over the 15th Amdt she sided with those who accepted votes for Black men without women, angering ElizCadyStanton & Susan B. <a href="https://twitter.com/DailySuffragist/status/1185226957493067778?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">See mid-Oct threads for that conflict.</a> *She wasn’t a joiner. Her celebrity was so great that suffrage & temperance groups would have been happy to make her an officer. But she wasn’t interested - so she’s missing from the official record of the movement, written by those organizations. *Lastly, she died in obscurity. She was an alcoholic, and may have struggled with mental illness. Her sister Susan, who had managed her career for years, had her committed at age 49. Anna found the headlines humiliating: "Anna Dickinson Insane" blared the NY papers. Anna Dickinson died in 1932, a week shy of her 90th birthday, and was buried near her partner Sallie Ackley. Matt Gallman says she never voted. Of course, the primary reason we don’t know her name today is that she was a woman.

The title of the landmark Black feminist anthology is the essence of intersectionality. It’s also a summary of the suffrage movement & the heavy load Black women shouldered in it. In the years after the Civil War, white abolitionists & suffragists endlessly debated Black male suffrage, white women’s suffrage, universal suffrage, “educated” suffrage -who should step aside for whom. Frances E. W. Harper was one of few Black women to speak at the conventions. As the American Equal Rights Association argued about who needed the vote more: Blacks or women, Harper called out white women for their racism & naivete. At their founding Convention in 1866 she said “You white women speak here of rights. I speak of wrongs.” She described the humiliation of riding public transit as a woman of color. “Have women nothing to do with this?” Then she named the amorality of the nation as it stood in 1866 - when the war was won but citizenship still undefined. She's so fierce that I'll quote at length: “In advocating the cause of the colored man, since the Dred Scott decision I have sometimes said I thought the nation had touched bottom. But let me tell you there is a depth of infamy lower than that. “It is when the nation, standing upon the threshold of a great peril, reached out its hands to a feebler race & asked that race to help it, and when the peril was over said, You are good enough for soldiers, but not good enough for citizens.” Harper brings the speech home with the ultimate war hero: Harriet Tubman. She points out that Moses herself cannot travel unmolested in America, and then rhetorically closes the loop on the question of Black men, Black women, white women, and the ballot. “That woman [Tubman], whose courage and bravery won a recognition from our army and from every black man in the land, is excluded from every thoroughfare of travel. Talk of giving women the ballot-box? Go on. It is a [teaching school], and the white women of this country need it. “While there exists this brutal element in society which tramples upon the feeble and treads down the weak, I tell you that if there is any class of people who need to be lifted out of their airy nothings and selfishness, it is the white women of America.” Oct 21, 2019 Thank you for this - so glad to know about @<a href="https://twitter.com/smithcaringcirc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">smithcaringcirc</a> and to encourage folks to join.
