We will begin our series, "Voting Matters: Gender, Citizenship, and the Long 19th Amendment," with a keynote address by the historian Martha S. Jones, who will root the generations-long movement for women’s suffrage in the activism of African American women from the 1830s. Jones will explore the tangled intersections of gender and race in the battle for the ballot while considering the evolution of birthright citizenship, more broadly, as itself a gendered origins story about constituting the American people.

Martha S. Jones, Society of Black Alumni Presidential Professor and professor of history, Johns Hopkins University

Moderated by Lisa Tetrault, associate professor of history, Carnegie Mellon University
