Saturday, February 2

 

10 am & 2 pm — Fighting Chance: The Struggle for Woman and Black Suffrage in Reconstruction America, Minnesota History Center, 345 Kellogg Blvd. W., St. Paul

At the landmark Seneca Falls Convention (1848), Frederick Douglass helped Elizabeth Cady Stanton convince delegates to support the strange concept of woman suffrage. Twenty years later, Cady Stanton’s opposition to and Douglass’ support for the Fifteenth Amendment (1869) brought these two civil rights’ giants and their causes to a bitter parting of the ways, with Douglass believing that White women could wait for the vote, and Cady Stanton asserting that the political participation of uneducated Black men would destroy America unless balanced by that of more civilized, educated White women.

Join historian Faye Dudden, Colgate University, for a look at how these two causes, so long allied, came to such a terrible rift.

The Powerbroker, by Bonnie Boswell, profiles civil rights leader Whitney Young, who during the 1950s and ’60s, led the National Urban League and navigated a divided society. He challenged America’s White business and political leaders directly, but his efforts to open the doors for equal opportunity were often attacked by African Americans who felt his methods were in contrast with the Black Power Movement.

A panel discussion moderated by David Gillette of TPT follows the film.

This event is free. For more information, call Alayne Hopkins at 651-366-6488.
