Public Meeting: Black Women Suffrage Movement in Washington, DC (1848-1973)

In 2020, the DC Preservation League partnered with the DC State Historic Preservation Office to implement grant funding from the National Park Service to produce a context study on Women’s Suffrage in Washington, DC.

Adding on to that project, in 2022, DCPL received a competitive grant from the National Park Service to underwrite development of a Historic Context Statement on the Black Women’s Suffrage Movement in Washington, DC.

This June, join researchers Dr. Portia Hopkins and Dr. Synatra Smith to learn more about their findings for the Black Women’s Suffrage Movement in Washington, DC (1848-1973) Historic Context Study.

This event is free and open to the public. Your feedback and questions are welcome and encouraged at this presentation!
