When I was in elementary school, I couldn’t find history books on Slavery.  Regrettably, I was left to imagine what Slave life entailed on plantations in the Big House and in the fields of burning hot sun - the places where Black captives, stolen from the shores of Africa, endured their lives and their fate for generations.

They refused to back down and finally on August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution became law.
