The Nadir: Black Suffrage Leaders and Activism
Additional Black suffrage leaders emerged independent of the NAWSA during this time. While some women remained relatively conservative in their approach, many of the younger voices were more radical and they departed further from the ideas of white suffragists. Despite differences, there was unity among Black suffragists in their goal of improving the status of Black women and African Americans as a whole. This message attracted large audiences and gained broad support within their communities, across genders.
