- Description
- Woodrow Wilson would no longer talk to suffragists, so they took matters into their own hands. They made it their mission that the president would not be able to enter or leave the house without seeing a silent sentinel with a message asking him about suffrage. In this video, curator Lisa Kathleen Graddy gives us a behind the scenes look at a remaining fragment that belonged to the Kaiser Wilson banner. Are the tactics used by suffragists to fight for political power still effective? The 2019 National Youth Summit looked at woman suffrage as an example of how groups with limited political power have and continue to shape our democracy using strategies and tools, like the vote and public protest, to give voice to issues and galvanize fellow Americans into communal movements for change.
