Your Heroes Are Not Mine: The Problematic Whitewashing of Women's Suffrage
History Shows Us - Een podcast door Lettie Gore
Categorieën:
This year is the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, but much of the history of the women's suffrage movement leaves out the racism and white supremacy that was its foundation. In this episode, I discuss the problem with inclusivity in the 19th amendment, racist rhetoric of well-known white suffragists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Black women suffragists who need to be known, and I connect it all to social issues we see today and the lack of intersectionality. I also talk about the recent negative backlash The Honey Pot received after the Target commercial aired and white women showed all of their white fragility. Get ready!
