Meet Ida B. Wells-Barnett!
She was a civil rights advocate, journalist, feminist and an active fighter for women’s suffrage, particularly for Black women. On January 30, 1913 Wells-Barnett founded the Alpha Suffrage Club in Chicago and played a crucial role in the victory of women’s suffrage in Illinois with the passage of the Illinois Equal Suffrage Act. The club organized women in the city to elect candidates who would best serve the Black community. As president of the club, Wells-Barnett was invited to march in the 1913 Suffrage Parade in Washington, DC. Organizers, afraid of offending Southern white suffragists, asked women of color to march at the back of the parade. She famously refused, instead, she stood on the parade sidelines until the Chicago contingent of white women passed, at which point she joined the march. She was also a founder of the National Association of Colored Women’s Club which was created to address issues dealing with civil rights and women’s suffrage.

Meet Sojourner Truth!
Born into slavery in 1797, Isabella Baumfree, who later changed her name to Sojourner Truth, would become one of the most powerful advocates for human rights in the nineteenth century. Sojourner Truth participated in the debates over which group should get suffrage first—black men or women. Known for her 1851 “Ain’t I A Woman?” speech, in 1867, the former slave and activist declared: “If colored men get their rights, and not colored women theirs, you see the colored men will be masters over the women, and it will be just as bad as it was before.” Having experienced unequal pay due to her gender, she became concerned with women’s economic prosperity.

Meet Zitkala- Ša!
She became an accomplished author, musician, composer, and dedicated worker for the reform of United States Indian policies. She was instrumental in legislation favorable to Indians and spent a great deal of her time among the Native Americans in an attempt to educate and organize them for greater strength through unity. She founded and served as president, fundraiser and speaker of the National Council of American Indians until her death in 1938. The Council worked to unite the tribes across the United States to gain suffrage for all Indians. She also worked with white suffrage groups and was active in the General Federation of Women’s Clubs beginning in 1921.
