Due to discriminatory laws implemented

African American women and men faced several challenges including intimidation, fear, racial violence, lynching, and access to the polls. Black women and men waged several powerful campaigns throughout the decades and put their lives on the line in order to eventually win voting rights legislation in 1965 with the Voting Rights Act. There’s nothing in the 19th Amendment that guaranteed voting rights for Native American women.


Native Americans weren’t even considered US citizens until the Indian Bahrain Email List Citizenship Act that was passed in 1924 and even after that Native American men and women were disenfranchised from the ballot  by some state governments actively working to suppress their voting rights. State-by-state, they fought the right to vote. The last state to guarantee Native American voting rights was Utah in 1962. Certain laws today at the local level made voting less accessible to their communities; their struggle to protect their rights as U.S. citizens continues.



There’s nothing in the 19th Amendment that guaranteed Asian American women the vote due to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the Immigration acts of 1917 and 1924. They were denied the right to vote until 1952 when the immigration and nationality act allowed them to become citizens. There’s nothing in the 19th Amendment that guaranteed Latinx women, particularly Mexican-American women the right to vote. Latinx women couldn’t vote until the 1975 extension of the Voting Rights Act which ended the discrimination against minorities who spoke another language and made it possible to require translation of voter registration materials into Spanish and other languages.
