Join Professor Brittney Yancy of Goodwin University for this virtual program on the women of color who advanced the suffrage movement and the broader struggle for voting rights. Professor Yancy raises up the stories of women of color in the movement—particularly African American, Indigenous, and Puerto Rican luminaries—and Connecticut women such as Mary Townsend, Sarah Lee Brown Fleming, and Laura McCoy, among others. This program is inspired by the digital archive project, The Work Must Be Done, managed by Professor Yancy and Connecticut Historical Society and funded by Connecticut Humanities.
