To The Front: Black Women & the Vote

Editor, Creative Director, Lead Researcher

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, the AFRO and Afro Charities teamed up to produce To The Front: Black Women & The Vote.

This special edition publication reaches back into the AFRO American Newspapers’ archives to bring DC and Maryland’s Black women suffragists into the national suffrage conversation. Connecting their activism with that of their 21st-century counterparts, To The Front highlights the ongoing fight for unfettered access to the vote.

Physical copies of this commemorative publication have sold out. To download a PDF version, click here.
