# Martha S. Jones on Black Women & the Suffrage Movement

Historian Martha S. Jones will discuss her recent book: "Vanguard: How Black Women Broke Barriers, Won the Vote, and Insisted on Equality for All," which tells the history of Black women activists that is too-frequently left out of accounts of the struggles for racial and gender equality in the U.S. Jones writes about trailblazing activists like Maria Stewart, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper and Fannie Lou Hamer and the political battles they fought against unjust systems. John Haskell will interview Jones on the book and its lessons for today's political world.
