Thanks, very interesting. Incremental change, tortoise like, is standard practice. The divisions toward equal rights
under the law for women and men and toward voting rights for both men and women was new and interesting, too.

Interesting that most women of the suffrage movement even toadied to racist
attitudes, while striving toward their goal of gaining voting rights for women.

Lucy Stone, a special woman .. "some even threw bibles at her, claiming that her
views were going against God" ..

Lol, embed gave me only white that time.

Wow! Lucy Stone was never able to vote herself. And, still, after
all this time the great majority of women still take their husbands name.

Lucy Stone, a woman who stood solidly by her personal principles.

"Rarely discussed was her strong disagreement with the organizing policy of Stanton and Anthony, founders of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, who in their eagerness to recruit new women into the suffrage ranks, had
developed a "southern strategy" and were recruiting racist white women who refused to open their doors
to black women, who were then forced to form their own separate, and unequal suffrage movement."

In remembrance of Franz Boas .. yes, we have have posted on 'race' before .. this from a link in yours ..

In the United States both scholars and the general public have been conditioned to viewing human races as natural and separate divisions within the human species based on visible physical differences. With the vast expansion of scientific knowledge in this century, however, it has become clear that human populations are not unambiguous, clearly demarcated, biologically distinct groups. Evidence from the analysis of genetics (e.g., DNA) indicates that most physical variation, about 94%, lies within so-called racial groups. Conventional geographic "racial" groupings differ from one another only in about 6% of their genes. This means that there is greater variation within "racial" groups than between them. In neighboring populations there is much overlapping of genes and their phenotypic (physical) expressions. Throughout history whenever different groups have come into contact, they have interbred. The continued sharing of genetic materials has maintained all of humankind as a single species.
