But racism plagued these women\u2019s participation in the suffragist movement according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/our-faculty\/charissa-threat\">Chapman History Professor, Charissa Threat<\/a>. During the famous 1913 suffrage parade in Washington D.C., for example, organizers wanted Black suffragists to march at the end of the parade but Ida B. Wells famously refused and joined her state group in the middle of the parade. Additionally, women of color, like African American activist Mary Church Terrell, had to often remind white female suffragists that excluding black women from the vote was the same as excluding them because of their sex, according to Threat. Therefore, even after the 19th Amendment was ratified, these groups of women continued fighting to secure their own voting rights for many years.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12648\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12648\" style=\"width: 372px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12648\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/08\/1913-suffrage-parade-in-Washington-D.C.-e1597447007628-300x217.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"372\" height=\"269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/08\/1913-suffrage-parade-in-Washington-D.C.-e1597447007628-300x217.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/08\/1913-suffrage-parade-in-Washington-D.C.-e1597447007628.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 372px) 100vw, 372px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12648\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">1913 suffrage parade in Washington D.C.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The federal suffrage amendment prohibited discrimination on sex, but it didn&#8217;t say anything about race. In 1868, <\/span>the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/black-history\/fourteenth-amendment\">14th Amendment<\/a> granted citizenship to recently freed slaves, followed in 1870 by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/black-history\/fifteenth-amendment\">15th Amendment<\/a> that prohibited denying the right to vote \u201con account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.\u201d Racially discriminatory laws, however, prevented African American men and women from voting throughout the south for much of the twentieth century through mechanisms such as poll taxes and literacy tests. Intimidation and violence also suppressed voting by African Americans. Forty-five years after the 19th Amendment, with the 1964 ratification of the 24th Amendment, which banned poll taxes and the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, African American women and men received federal protection for their right to vote.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1924, with the passage of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/this-day-in-history\/the-indian-citizenship-act\">Snyder Act<\/a>, American-born Native women gained citizenship, and the right to vote.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asian-born immigrants were prevented from becoming naturalized citizens until 1952 when the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/laws-and-policy\/legislation\/immigration-and-nationality-act\"> Immigration and Nationality Act<\/a> made naturalization, and the right to vote, possible. In 1975, a revised <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/black-history\/voting-rights-act\">Voting Rights Act<\/a>, banned discrimination against non-English speakers, opening up voting to citizens who spoke other world languages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was a long battle for all these women, to fight and make a difference in our country, paving the way for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harris.senate.gov\/\">Senator Kamala Harris<\/a> becoming the first woman of color and first Asian-American vice-presidential candidate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want to learn more about women and gender inequality? <\/strong><br \/>\nWilkinson College offers a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/interdisciplinary-minors\/womens-studies.aspx\">Women&#8217;s Studies Minor<\/a> which provides an overview of the interdisciplinary approaches to the study of women and gender inequality; cultural representations of women and their social roles; and the social axes of gender, race, class and sexuality.
