League of Women Voters – Whitewater Area to Host Program on Diversity & the Women’s Suffrage Movement

The League of Women Voters-Whitewater Area invites the public to attend a virtual presentation, “Diversity Influences in the Women’s Suffrage Movement,” on Thursday, February 18, 2021 at 6:30 p.m. Join Dr. Dwight C. Watson, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Chancellor, as we explore women’s suffrage, with a focus on the experience of African American women. The struggle for the vote looks very different through the diversity lens. Dr. Watson will also address the suffragist movement in Wisconsin, and he looks forward to a lively Q&A session afterwards, in which he can also address the current state of affairs.
