Ida B. Wells1862-1931 In 1913, she triedto join a suffrage parade, but some white suffragists refused to march alongside blacks. Her experience showed that to many white suffragists, “equality” did not apply to everyone. Early suffrage activists had generally supported racial equality, (most were abolitionists before they were feminists) but by the beginning of the 20th century, many middle-class white people onlyembraced the suffragists’ cause because they believed that “their” women would guarantee white supremacy. Wrote about racist violence, campaigning for anti-lynching laws and organizing on behalf of many civil rights causes, including woman suffrage. Best known for refusing tochange her last name when she married the abolitionist Henry Blackwell in 1855. In 1871, Stone and Blackwell began to publish the weekly feminist newspaper The Woman’s Journal. Became a traveling lecturer for the American Anti-Slavery Society–advocating, she said, “not for the slave only, but for suffering humanity everywhere. Especially do I mean to labor for the elevation of my sex.” Lucy Stone1818-1893
