104 years ago today, the 19th Amendment was ratified in Tennessee - by one vote, when 24-year-old Harry T. Burn listened to his mother and broke a House impasse.
This amendment gave white women the right to vote. First-gen Asian Americans? 1952. Native women? In states, as late as 1962.
For Black women, a semblance of equality was attained only with the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Let us never forget that there was no Golden Era.
We have always been fighting hate.
