knowledgeequalsblackpower:eternallybeautifullyblack:The African-American Suffragists History Forgot by Lynn Yaeger [T]hough we may have vague notions of the American women who fought so heroically for the ballot on this side of the Atlantic, they are, in our minds, in our imaginations, in the photographs and first-person narratives that have come down to us, uniformly white people.[Read Lynn Yaeger’s Vogue.com article in its entirety here.]This article is good but fails to actually explore, with any depth, the fact that the erasure of Black people from popular American history was (and still is in many states) an active agenda.These women didn’t just “magically” go forgotten.
