99 years ago today, legislators in Tennessee vote to approve the 19th Amendment, making their state the 36th and final state needed to complete the amendment's ratification. ☑️ The 19th Amendment—which declared that "the right of citizens...to vote shall not be denied...on account of sex"—was only one milestone in the longer history of women's fight for the ballot. After the amendment's ratification, many more women were able to vote in U.S. elections. Others—especially women of color—were kept from the polls through a combination of violence, intimidation, and other restrictions like poll taxes, literacy tests, complex registration systems, and whites-only primaries. Further legislation, court victories, and social movements were needed to ensure that all American women would be able to exercise their right to vote. 🗳

2️⃣ Though active in the suffrage movement, many Native American women could not vote until the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924. Multiple states barred Native Americans from voting well into the 20th century.

3️⃣ Many American women of Asian descent were unable to become naturalized citizens and vote until the repeal of laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act (in 1943) and passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act (in 1952)

4️⃣ African American women in many states did not benefit from the 19th Amendment until the 1960s, when the 24th Amendment and Voting Rights Act of 1965 broke down racial restrictions to voting.

mrs.leahhintz1995 The Native American Indian Tribes should have never been banned to begin with! It was the WHITE MAN who forced themselves into their country to begin with! The Indian tribes should have been automatically allowed to vote if they chose to!

sunsetmom Please register to vote and then vote to honor all of those who sacrificed so much so we all can vote!

josephine.zapatka Many of the facts stated here I did not know, never too old to learn. Thank you for the education!

bradybrown88 The Governor of Tennessee who enacted the vote, Albert H. Roberts, was an alumni of my college!

tessdc303 And the GOP is working hard to once again disenfranchise as many of us as possible.

br0ken_s0und So correct me if I'm wrong, but not all females were in favor of women's suffrage.
