On #WomensEqualityDay a reminder that the 19th Amendment only gave white women voting rights.
BIPOC women waited decades more:
•1920: White Women
•1952: Asian Women
•1962: Native Women
•1965: Black Women
•1975: Latino Women
We must continue to protect voting rights—even now.
@QasimRashid Thought I'd add an article to explain the Latino vote for people who are stunned:
There was a "language" test for voters, and jurisdictions were not required to provide translations. I am positive people for whom English is a second language would not be able to vote again if Trump wins. #voting #votingrights
