Well on tuesday former Vice President and 2020 democratic president ial nominee joe biden made history by announcing his running mate u. S. Senator Harris Harris is the 1st black Vice President ial candidate in u. S. History but even though harris is more than qualified for the role shes facing backlash the kind that is typically only reserved for women women for whom ambition is seen as a bad word and strength is seen as unladylike harris is also taking fire for her race shes even being slut shamed with fox news host Tucker Carlson implying that harris slept her way to the top and that her success is largely dependent on the min shes dated a sneer that isnt new fox news darling and favorite conservative voice tom miller in made the same comments a year ago but apologized after her colleagues called her out these types of attacks on women have historically kept many from running for office in the 1st place because females are often hill to a very different standard than men. At the intersection of womens rights and a world all too eager to file it its time we start watching the hawks. If you want to know whats going on a city in the street you want to. Undersell youd like to see the top prizes joyce state and City Employees will slice mass graves suggest slaves systemic deception is still a show which is now with some pretty tough job as. A welcome one to watching the hawks i am tired and im in the crowd and joining us now are on a lemon executive director of the womens suffrage some time your commission and patricia work the executive director and c. E. O. Of turning Point Suffragist Memorial Association thank you both for coming on its an author have a new. Beginning here. The 19th amendment is a very important part of American History and womens right to vote is particularly vital with women being the largest demographic in america something we should all be excited and celebrating but how did we get here and whats the significance of the 19th amendment centennial in 2020 when we know that this might be one of the most consequential elections of our time. That you want to take that one. Well. I believe that this is history in the making there have been other milestones in the Suffrage Movement to 50 years the 75 year history but this here is just. The 100 here anniversary people are taking notice at our organization we like to say that the Separation Movement is the best kept secret in American History by doing presentations all over the country and i speak just sawzall individuals at all ages and most of them never heard anything about the movement so this. Here being the 100th anniversary is particularly poignant because i guess 100 years just means more then any other major milestone and so the whole movement is getting a lot 7 of recognition. And history is there is a lot of the peeling back of an onion so to speak of information that has not been widespread in its way past time so its very exciting. On your the some projects are historically showcased throughout history you know as white women what i want to ask you if you can what was the role of black women Voting Rights in the history of this movement and why is it consistently stated that the 19th amendment ensured all women Voting Rights access one of fact you know black women face significant barriers to vote d and even with the passage of the one to the moment how has that been changed over the years and and how is it gotten better. Thats a big question so. You know the history of the 1000 amendment its a long history and a complicated history and particularly when it comes to regulations so the Suffrage Movement had deep ties to the Abolition Movement the original suffragettes were women who were already motivated they were already activated and they were fighting against slavery in the United States and thats really where the Suffrage Movement again but then there is a big rift in the at the start of the movement over the 14th and 15th amendments and womens exclusion from those amendments and thats really where the problems began and so you have some white stuff or just who work very hard to secure the right to vote for all women and you have other white stuff or just who dont do that at all and who in fact in very exclusionary discriminatory. And prejudiced behavior to try to secure those for themselves and that will ripped out the Suffrage Movement and then with the passage of the 19th amendment in 1020 this incredible. Just very proud moment for one and unfortunately what in the pap and in it is that women of color are very much excluded from the way that the 1000 amendment is then put into place throughout the country and so native american women because citizenship was denied to native women and till 1924 native american women couldnt vote in the United States and then you had chinese american women same story citizenship was denied to chinese american women not able to vote until much later black women of course face a particularly unique set of. Prejudices and an access to the ballot because of jim crow laws in the south the same laws that were already impacting men in the south black men once the 90 minute passes that doesnt protect black women and so those black women are then facing the same set of exclusionary prejudiced and discriminatory obstacles to the ballot so what we do its thing is the 1000 amendment is an incredibly important chapter in with taurine american democracy but its not the only chapter and for women of color the story continue barking on linked in ive been to lay that out perfectly i think to really summed up what that struggle has been and how important house and home court its going to. Temper tricia weve made progress but we also have to look at the fact that some of that progress has been hampered by a lot of things that measure that progress with the way to where we currently are women make up only 23. 7 percent of congress only 7. 4 percent of legislators are women. This november 30th 2000 trains people could be turned away at polls because of the lack of an id to vote what does all of this mean for the legacy of the 19th amendment. Unfortunately Voter Suppression is alive and well here we see it state by state we saw it happening it happening in georgia when stacy abrams was running running for governor i mean its it is there it is just one of those things that we have to say and its very very unfortunate i would like to think that what im seeing is women just dont give up i agree with everything that ana said earlier about what happened in so far as africanamerican women during the Suffrage Movement and that racism there permeated that entire movement but they never gave up they formed separate organizations and they never gave up they just kept working and working in working. In the early part of the 20th century teenager africanamerican sororities were formed the Alpha Kappa Alpha and the Delta Sigma Theta sorority and 100 years later at least 2. Africanamerican sorority still of what is a major things that they deal with a year after here our Voting Rights and so even though there has been this suppression we just have to keep working at it and fighting to try to over take it and i think that there one of the things that has been that has been remarkable is seeing that finally women have recognized that they are capable of running for office Winning Office and doing a wonderful job being wonderful leaders and i think its prisms just to sticks that if you ask the man if he wants to run for office and say ok sure no problem but if you ask the women woman shell say well i dont know if im qualified i have to think about this a while and i you know ill get back to you on that and they dont just jump into it but i. Think that women are being encouraged i think youll see across the country states now have organizations to help train women on how to run for office i know we have that in the state of virginia where i live and im really happy to see it because its my personal opinion that even if we had totally equal number gender wise of elected officials why its important is because even though the end result might be the same women have a different perspective on things than men do and so its important to have the full perspective of the issue before you vote on it and once again we may get to the same conclusive and out of that an issue but we need to have the perspective of both genders the because we dont think alike i have a wonderful husband and live free and a lot but we dont get to that end result the same way very frequently today i have to say but realistically i think if we had far more Women Leaders represented in this country we would not be in the dire straits that we are into bay in many different areas of this country i want to ask you both you can go 1st but how will the female vote impact the 2020 election i mean there was a lot of focus on the president ial but you also of the son of your bahamas you have other part of races locally that are up for grabs that well on a how do you think the female vote is going to play this year. But i know what i would say about that. Women are amazing right and mean show and used throughout the stuff originally and dandling up and you see women chilling out and i think thats a separate gests would have wanted to see especially 100 years after the ratification of the 1900 amendments it doesnt matter which side of the aisle youre on what matters is that you engage in your community that you care about your community and that you work to make this country better. And one of the ways that we can do not engage in our democracy and i think its just a beautiful thing to be in this 100. 00 here and to be able to come together as a country i hope in this moment and rally together as americans and stand for something. And meaning that something thats near is neutral story of what it means to be american and of what it means to work towards a more Perfect Union right because thats what the suffrage represents it represents. Unequivocal power that women have to keep pushing forward and work for Something Better and so i think that is worth celebrating this year i could not agree with you more and i want to thank you both so much for the good work that youre doing and keeping that Movement Alive and educating people around the country on the importance of the 19th amendment and what all of those women of all colors did in order to get equality and keeping that fight going to this day thank you so much for joining us once again and elaine when the executive director the women suffragists Centennial Commission and patricia the executive director and c. E. O. Of turning point suffer just more association thank you so much for both coming out it means the world to us. Thanks for having make you.

Sudden legal takeover of a government by a small group. Rather than revolutionaries or soldiers could that small group the corporations when you have a tiny group of people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure the rest of us dont get together and take it back. These are sacrifice some. Places that capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit and left behind misery poverty environmental devastation and so you see things like Voter Suppression building more prisons you seem gerrymandering all sorts of undemocratic practices were well into that world for well focused world.

Girl to tend to believe that sex with older men would help with the boys socialization of the 30 years many children were paedophiles to raise. Just for. Someone to go through. All right welcome back everyone as we honor of the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment and a womans right to vote here in the United States we would be remiss if we didnt take an indepth look at the biggest woman in Politics News of the week and that of course of the selection of former California Attorney general and current u. S. Senator kamel heiress to be joe bidens running mate in the 2020 president ial race and in the email to his supporters biden declared quote i need someone who understands that we are in a battle for the soul of this nation and that if were going to get through these crises we need to come together and unite for a better america. Gets that naturally this choice came with the expected amount of cheering support cheering criticism. And crisis hardened indifference that weve come to expect from Major Political announcements here in 2020 of the year where basically everything has come undone so as we head into a week of virtual political conventions in a race for the white house that after 2 long years is finally finally actually going to officially starts lets take a look at the impact criticism and historical significance of the biden harris ticket to the big dance and joining our ticket to talk about this to do our activists and professor of American History at George Washington university Brittany Lewis an political analyst dr eyad was jones the weaver whos also a ph d. Very good all right thank you both for coming on today. Thanks for having me thank you so i want to start how do how does the decision of harris shape the Biden CampaignGoing Forward most importantly does it does it secure him votes in november that he wasnt actually going to get before britney wanted to star. Sure you know my direct personal thing and i got in at night that night a lot of hoopla mccleary had on the happy day that i i do believe unless there is what is his most strategic hit i think it showed bidens ability to play politics if you will i think that even more missed pressure on him to not only nickel woman but to be a black woman as. I think to not a black woman would have been political suicide and since white people specifically black women have been such an important base for the Democratic Party historically and were truly instrumental in getting bitin the nomination so you know not for all its specially the more progressive democrats or folks on the left are excited about her but i do still believe that theres a large majority of people who are excited about having her on the ticket and i think that they you know represent politics in opdyke politics and optics that she represents and will let me as a voter base that will not as excited as voting for a bite inch as much as they are excited about getting trump out of the white house. Daughter of us what are your thoughts. Well i definitely believe that she is going to be that x. Factor that will lynn to garner a greater and do see as im for this ticket we have seen through all the polling that weve looked at in recent months that biden seems to trounce trump on almost every end to cater imaginable except for enthusiasm and there is no degree base for the Democratic Party not only black people but black women specifically and so it made sense to pick kamel harris to be his running mate not just because shes a black woman but i would argue because shes the best person for the job if you look at her performance for example in the intelligence and the judiciary committees if you look at her background being not only elected to the senate but being elected statewide twice which actually is a historic feat in and of itself. She brings to events ticket the ability of someone who knows how to campaign she brings to this ticket someone who is a proven fighter and given who they are up against in november we are really truly in a fight for the soul of this nation and they need a fighter on that ticket and i think thats exactly what she brings to bear. At the top of the show i mentioned that theres been a lot of criticism over paris as a pig what do you feel this criticism is about and should she how should she answer poor that is she running for d. P. And what is what is unjust about this criticism there been some that have been pointed towards her record as a g. But there are other things that have come that are basically criticizing her race her background and some very personal attacks so im going to start with you dr avis because i know that youre actually going on and youre going to be live later later this evening talking about this and the criticisms and whats whats right and whats wrong about whats coming out about kamalas so you can go ahead take that one. Absolutely so 1st of all the attacks on her ethnicity i would just kind of talk that up to plain ignorance its absolutely ridiculous ok people are parsing sharers betwe
