Let’s take a moment to remember the #suffragists who were #vegetarian, a thread. They recognized how oppressions were connected. Some of the information is from my book, The Sexual Politics of Meat now celebrating its 30th anniversary of publication. #suffrage /1
Let’s be clear: Susan B. #Anthony was NOT a vegetarian. She was happy to get to Delmonico’s in Manhattan after staying with the #Grimke sisters, who were. She did attend a vegetarian banquet in 1853, where the toast was to “Total Abstinence, Women’s Rights, & Vegetarianism.” /2
Matilda Joslyn #Gage, a radical activist & co-editor of the 1st 3 volumes of “The History of Woman Suffrage” with Elizabeth Cady Stanton & Susan B. Anthony, was a vegetarian. She was later written out of the history for her radical views. See the work of @Swagner711 /3
I am looking forward to the conversation about #13th tonight. Because we are going to extend the conversation of the film between #histflix & #docuhistory over two screening over several days, I am going to keep a long thread connected to the film. 
I think this explanation of the use of the language of the US Constitution to oppress people by @TheTattooedProf is something we often over look when we teach USH K-12. To all of our detriment! #histflix
For Ss and Ts, dropping in a reference to Oscar Micheaux’s Within Our Gates. Whenever Birth of a Nation gets taught I Think WOG should also be taught so Ss can learn about the very active resistance by African Americans to Griffith’s racist propaganda. #histflix #docuhistory
