“For example, although we are taught that women were granted suffrage in 1920, we ignore the fact that it was white women who received full access or that it was white men who granted it. Not until the 1960s, through the Voting Rights Act, were all women – regardless of race – granted full access to suffrage. Naming who has access and who doesn’t guides our efforts in challenging injustice.”
