It was up to the suffragists to articulate that women were citizens, too, and entitled to a say in governmental affairs.]]> 2021-03-05 03:28:36 UTC https://padlet.com/regmiada000_1_1/mlbafori3of1rbia/wish/1272303069 regmiada000_1_1 https://padlet.com/regmiada000_1_1/mlbafori3of1rbia/wish/1272310097 As a public official, suffragist, and educator, Annie Webb Blanton devoted her life to women's rights.

As described in the Official Souvenir Program for the convention, Jones “made a sincere and downright offer to his party to entertain them in his home, in true Southern style.  The party realized the sincerity of the invitation, the benefits it would reap, so it accepted.” ]]> 2021-03-05 03:41:31 UTC https://padlet.com/regmiada000_1_1/mlbafori3of1rbia/wish/1272329606 regmiada000_1_1 https://padlet.com/regmiada000_1_1/mlbafori3of1rbia/wish/1272334086 The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), founded in 1929, is the oldest and most widely respected Hispanic civil rights organization in the United States of America.
