African Americans and the Vote” is the theme for this year’s Black History Month, a celebration which began as Black History Week in 1926. The 15^th Amendment, ratified in 1870, declared that all men had the right to vote, regardless of race. In 1920, women gained the right to vote when the 19^th Amendment was ratified. However, black men and women were systematically barred from expressing this Constitutional right to vote by racially-motivated laws and policies. It wasn’t until 1965 when the Voting Rights Act was passed that people of color officially and explicitly had the right to vote. Even today, there’s a lot more to fair elections than a ballot box. Come by the library to learn more about the struggle for suffrage as we celebrate Black History Month 2020.  (2/3) – C. Milloway
