Podcast Update: We're Busy!

Hello podcast listeners! We wanted to send a quick update since there will not be a new episode out today. Because of our many snow days, we are finding ourselves busy with curriculum changes, grading, etc. So instead of a full podcast, we are giving you another text recommendation.

Our recommended text is an article from The New York Times called "When the Suffrage Movement Sold Out to White Supremacy" by Brent Staples. Staples names the black women who labored to ensure that all women, not just white women, would have the right to vote. He names their names and shares the work they did. He offers an astute criticism of the suffrage movement itself, noting that the term "woman" was narrowed down to mean only white, educated, affluent women. You can access the article here. Here are some questions to think about as you're reading: how does this article connect to the other texts we have read and discussed?; how could you use these ideas in your classroom?; how do these ideas connect to our modern Women's March?
