  • AFAM 237D: African American Women and Suffrage

    3.00 Credits
    Saint John Fisher University

    From antislavery efforts to the passage of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the adoption of the 19th "voters for women" Amendment, the paths ofAfrican American and white female suffragists often have been divergent by orchestration and convergent by necessity; therefore, the primary objective of this course is to ascertain if there was a commonality of purpose in the two racially dominant groups of women working toward the passage of the 19th Amendment. Identified are the individual contributors on both sides; the enfranchisement organizations; the political strategists and strategies; the literary and historical climates; and the "place" and roles of women duringthe mid-1800s to the early 1900s. We also examine the politics, pathos, poetics and prejudices of women's rights activists and suffragists.

    Freedom is the theme of this course. Students investigate why freedom-as a founding principle of the United States-is never free. Evidence of the forward progress of African Americans since the beginnings of the Atlantic slave trade is posited as strides toward freedom. Through readings and audiovisual presentations, reinforced with reenactments and oral discourse, students are guided in evaluating and assessing parallels in the lives of the following Rochester 19th-century African-American leaders: Frederick Douglass, Thomas James, and Austin Steward and their contemporaries. Students discuss, role-play, and create character journals, examining autobiographies, timelines of major events, legislative acts, and public policy as documentation of the African American quest for freedom. Students also participate in one of the Rochester-Monroe County Freedom Trail Commission's efforts to interpret the Underground Railroad era as living history.
