Editor’s Note: This is the second of a two-part special on the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage. As I write this, Donald Trump is speaking to the delegates during the Republican National Convention’s roll call.
I want (figuratively) to throw something across the room or to go to bed and pull the covers over my head as Trump falsely claims that the election will be “rigged” by fraud from voting by mail.
Fortunately, history offers hope in the midst of rage and hopelessness. Recently, many of us were thrilled when Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), an LGBTQ ally, became the first Asian-American and Black woman to become the vice-presidential nominee of a major political party in the United States.
