Black feminists deserve to be honored this Election Day, too
Women are leaving their “I Voted” stickers on suffragist Susan B. Anthony’s tombstone in Rochester, New York. But Evette Dionne, a senior editor at Revelist, is asking them to save some of these stickers for Ida B. Wells and other black women who paved the way for women’s rights.
Ida B. Wells was an African-American journalist and pioneering intersectional feminist, who fought for women’s right to vote and against the lynching of black men. Susan B. Anthony was an undeniable leader for white suffragettes, but also had a real history of racism.

I agree with this and I didn’t know Shirley Chisholm was in Buffalo, but they don’t give stickers out in Erie Co (where Buffalo is) so we can’t adorn her grave!
