In honor of Black History Month, all month long we will be sharing the legacies and stories of the heroes, sheroes, and events in the fight for Black suffrage on social media under the hashtag #VRABlackHistory. Follow us on Twitter (@VRAmatters) to share your own facts.
Today we honor Lucretia Mott, who played a vital role in organizing the 1848 Women’s Right’s Convention at Seneca Falls, which launched thewoman’s suffrage movement.She advocated her entire 40 years of life for African American women and all people to have equal rights in politics and many other areas of everyday life.
