Here is one of our favorite videos from Suffrage Wagon News Channel. It’s used by Antonia Petrash of the Long Island Woman Suffrage Association in her presentations about women’s activism on Long Island. As we approach 2020—the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution—this video is a valuable resource to share with others.

If it hadn’t been for Frederick Douglass, this blog would be very different, if women had even gotten the right to vote at all.
It is really moving to watch women marching in the streets like that for equality and the right to vote. It made me tear up a little bit! I am going to have to share it with a few friends of mine. As we approach the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, we have to do more to ensure the Equal Rights Amendment get ratified.
The video of the women’s marching feet is memorable.
