Lies. Money. Racism. Distorted religion. All of the worst that we see in today’s Trump regime was present in spades in Nashville in 1920. But the suffragists didn’t give up.
God bless you, Rev. Barber!

August 18, 1920 - Women throughout the U.S. won the right to vote when the Tennessee legislature approved the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution (the last of 36 states then required to approve it). An amendment for universal suffrage was first introduced in Congress in 1878, and Wyoming had granted suffrage in state law by 1890.

This amendment to enfranchise all American women had been introduced annually for 41 years without passage; it had gotten two-thirds of both houses of Congress to approve it just the year before.

“The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.”

In the Tennessee House, 24-year-old Representative Harry Burn surprised observers by casting the deciding vote for ratification. At the time of his vote, Burns had in his pocket a letter he had received from his mother urging him, "Don't forget to be a good boy" and "vote for suffrage."

Our US Supreme Court and Republican Policies are murdering women.

It is as simple and straighforward as that. Women are dying from untreated miscarriages, untreated ectopic pregnancies, and a host of other untreated health issures related to pregnancy.

Vote for Democrats! Pressure the the Supreme Court! Pass laws legalizing abortion! Trust women and their doctors!
