Sign up your class for this free, interactive student webinar drawing from the Museum's collections. Students will discover diverse leaders within the women’s suffrage movement and the tactics they have used to expand voting rights. Learn about how their racial and ethnic identities and class experiences shaped their political views and strategies. Looking back one hundred years to the passage of the 19th Amendment, students will explore the legacies and shortcomings of the movement of voting rights for women and learn about the importance of voting rights today.
This workshop is available to classes in all subject areas, and will:
- Highlight the diversity of individuals in the women’s suffrage movement and their connections to other activist movements
- Emphasize how the vote opened a path for New York-based individuals of all gender expressions to step into political life and also further activism for gender equality in politics, law, and society over the course of the 20th century
- Explore the question of citizen’s rights and the power of voting
FREE. Advance registration required.
How it Works: Students will join other students in these live and interactive sessions led over Zoom by Museum Educators in a setting that balances active engagement and privacy. Participants will see and discuss visuals from the Museum’s exhibitions and collections and connect the past to our present.
Security and Interaction: Sessions will be presented as webinars; students are able to submit questions, comments, and observations to the moderators and complete polls and other activities, but will not use cameras or mics and will not be visible on screen.
Individuals or classes are invited to register. Teachers interested in registering a class of up to 35 students can do so. Multiple classes from the same school can register if there is a different teacher in charge of the registration for each class.
