granted to all americans unanimously and instantly with the sweep of one pen instead the fate of a new nation initially given to only white men causing fractures and dissention and years of striving and toiling for all born on american soil to have a voice to cast a vote let us honor the women who endured starvation in the name of their cause who were force fed behind broken glass and steel bars ridiculed and threatened for decades on the streets in the columns and in their own homes rocks through windows and at them thrown when speeches were delivered a historical parade that began with a march in the snow interrupted by unruly crowds squeezing a parade of thousands to a single row while the police looked away and still the suffragettes pressed on not perfectly surpressing powerful voices like ida b wells who stepped in with her delegation where she belonged despite attempts to send her quietly to the end of the procession let us honor the women who helped build this country working long hours and earning low wages while paying one third of the country s taxes receiving no representation the same path that had previously led to a war with a monarch separation after blood spilled let us honor the women who struggled and sacrificed for well over six decades never losing sight even when generations came and went and at least one even died ratification of the 19th amendment on august 18 1920 was their labored prize let us honor those women by becoming a registered voter by becoming an educated voter by never taking for granted our constitutional right earned in exchange for a heavy price that we can exercise by filling an envelope or standing in line let us celebrate their victory during this 100th year anniversary michele is a dancer and poet my inspired
