#WomensEqualityDay marks the adoption of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing the right to vote regardless of sex. Racist legislation continued to disenfranchise voters of color, particularly women, for decades. To this day, voter suppression silences voices. Remembering the words of Coretta Scott King.

Dorothy Height led the National Council of Negro Women for 40 years. Her participation in the Big Six, the group of orgs that coordinated 1963's March on Washington, is often overlooked due to her gender. Acknowledging her contributions to movements for civil rights & gender liberation! #BlackAugust
