Session 23. Suffrage Legacies at Historically Black Colleges and Universities

Abstract

Archivists and archival collections at Historically Black Colleges and Universities are uniquely situated to offer insights into voting rights struggles for people of color and in particular for women of color. Participants in this session will discuss how their institution and collections have preserved voting rights history and how the material that tells this story is being shared during the anniversaries of both the Fifteenth and Nineteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
