Champions of Change: Early Suffragists and the Fight for Equality

The LWVDKC welcomes award-winning author Charlotte Gordon to discuss her upcoming book, Champions of Change: Early Suffragists and the Fight for Equality. Gordon's book explores the origins of the 19th century women's movement and the crisis over race that split it apart.

"Today's women's movement has inherited this troubled relationship with race. Many Black and brown women see today's movement as primarily a white organization. By learning the story of the racial divide in the 19th century, we can begin the process of reparation which is necessary if we want to strengthen today's movement." --Charlotte Gordon

The presentation will be on Zoom and Facebook Live
