One hundred years ago, women won the right to vote—but even as the 19th Amendment passed to grant universal suffrage, many were left out. One century on,  and the fight for suffrage is far from over. In this episode, Lori Erickson, Curator of Exhibitions and Special Projects at the Oregon Historical Society, and Eliza Canty-Jones, editor of the Oregon Historical Quarterly, discuss how the movement’s past has been whitewashed, sharing inspiring stories of courage by black women, and details of the Oregon Historical Society exhibit “Nevertheless, They Persisted: Women’s Voting Rights and the 19th Amendment.” We are proud to partner with the Oregon Historical Society for this podcast series Voting Now: Turning Rights Into Reality.  “Nevertheless, They Persisted” will remain open to the public until August 15th, 2021.
