Join KCTS 9 on Tuesday, June 23rd as we (virtually) sit down with some extraordinary women to discuss the past, present and future of women's rights and the suffragette movement of the early 1900's. Panelists include President of the K.D. Hall Foundation KD Hall, community organizer and attorney Nikkita Oliver, Seattle Municipal Court judge the Honorable Anita Crawford-Willis and Executive Director of Amplifier Cleo Barnett. Moderated by Crosscut Now host Starla Sampaco.
This discussion will center on the black women of the suffrage movement and how women (and everyone else, for that matter, of all colors) can currently affect change as it pertains to racism/dismantling white supremacy through voting.
We want to elevate the voices of Black women in this conversation as part of our commitment as an organization to being part of the change.
This event is produced with American Experience in advance of The Vote, premiering on KCTS 9 on July 6th. Click here to watch the trailer and suffragette profile videos in advance of this event.
