We at @19thnews look forward to marking the centennial of the ratification of the #19thAmendment, for which our newsroom is named -- but with an asterisk in recognition that white women were the main beneficiaries of this milestone, at the expense of women of color.
It is important to us @19thnews to tell the truth about the suffrage movement, and to acknowledge the Black women who had to fight twice as hard for their access to the ballot, which they would not win until the Voting Rights Act of 1965, nearly four decades later.
Among my heroes are American patriots like Ida B. Wells, Mary Church Terrell, Anna Julia Cooper, Frances E.W. Harper and so many Black women history has attempted to erase for their contributions as suffragettes. No more ... Let us all honor them now.
Meghan Markle and @eramshaw in conversation about @The19thNews? Wowsers. I am not a huge Royals follower (I had to look up how to spell her name), but this is cool. #19thRepresents
Ramshaw saw a need and, a year ago, an opportunity to start a nonprofit, nonpartisan newsroom at the intersection of gender, politics, and policy. COVID threw a wrench in fundraising and forward movement but instead of stalling, they moved forward more quickly. #19thRepresents
Ramshaw: It was more important now than ever to move the work forward. Esp with staff having to juggle children, parents, illness, work, etc. It was -- and still is -- a huge risk. #19thRepresents
Sunny Hostin @sunny moderates panel including @ProfessorCrunk and Robin Diangelo discussing allyship. #19thRepresents
Cooper: White women feel allied with white men that Black women don't have. Black women must fight white men and women. Just bc you are awhite woman, doesn't mean you get to be first. Can we let a Black woman be first? #19thRepresents
Cooper: Many white women fought the Black vote during the suffrage movement. Black men more fit than white women? Many white suffragists resented it. In current moment, we need to trust Black women to govern and lead. #19thRepresents
Next up at #19thRepresents is the amazing poet, scholar, and president of the Mellon Foundation @ProfessorEA who will be reading excerpts from women activist poets. Look to poets for vision of America reimagined. They will lead us forward into the America we seek.
Alexander reads Puerto Rican poet Julia de Burgos "I Was My Own Route" translated into English. Google it. "...forward, forward..." #19thRepresents
Now Prof Alexander reads Audre Lorde, "Who Said It Was Simple". Googled it for you: poetryfoundation.org/poems/42587/wh… #19thRepresents
Here we go! @KamalaHarris up first. Her first interview as VP candidate is with @19thnews. Shouts out to all of the other women in contention. "We're gonna get this done." #19thRepresents
Harris: Didn't feel in competition with other women presidential candidates, but pride as a diverse group of women. #19thRepresents @KamalaHarris
Harris: "Biden had the audacity to choose a Black woman as his running mate." Brings risk and says something about Biden's character. A statement about his vision and about our future. "The Biden/Harris ticket is about representing who America really is." #19thRepresents
