Women's Suffrage: The Untold Story of Black Women in its History
This year marks the centennial of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote nationally. The story of the long battle too often excludes the role of Black women who played significant roles in the ratification efforts.
This panel conversation gives a general overview of the suffrage movement both nationally and in Kentucky and reframes that history by telling the stories of some of the key “hidden figures” of the movement. It will connect that history to the voting rights activities of the 1960s and voting in 2020 and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Organized by the Brandeis School of Law at the University of Louisville.

The DISTURBING History of Black Women's Voting Rights #onemichistory
An explanation the fight for Voting rights for American Americans and how suffrage movement left Black women behind.
The Suffrage movement for African Americans and Women had their roots in the abolitionist movement but in the 70 years between the Seneca Falls Women's rights convention and the ratification of the 19th amendment, the two groups relationship was ripped apart by racism and politics. While the 19th Amendment enfranchised all American women, it wouldn't be until the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act that all African Americans were granted the right to vote

The Missing Link to Black Women's Reproductive Health | Bianca Owens | TEDxVCU
In this talk, Bianca Owens explores how Black women's reproductive health is often discussed in isolation. She elaborates on a number of factors that work in tandem to influence Black women's reproductive health while arguing that we must begin taking an interdisciplinary approach to evaluating and serving Black women. The statistics are clear, Black women suffer worse reproductive health outcomes than any other racial/ethnic group. Why is this? Current approaches are based in an individualistic context and do not center the overall impact of various forms of oppression that Black women face. We must move away from that approach in order to properly support Black women in their continued fight to reproductive well-being. Bianca Owens, M.S. is currently a doctoral student in the Health Psy...
