The Ongoing Fight

Season 32 Episode 9

Before women's suffrage, Black women led the fight for voting rights—and still do today.

Black women have long been at the forefront of the right to vote. Today, 100 years after the passage of the 19th Amendment and 55 years after the Voting Rights Act, their fight continues.
