Feminism and the Long Nineteenth Amendment&#8221;<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Professor Manisha Sinha, the Draper Chair in American History at the University of Connecticut, examined the long genealogy of the Nineteenth Amendment in the history of abolitionist feminism. Professor Sinha revisited the Reconstruction debates over women\u2019s suffrage to argue that rather than a setback, this period was a formative one in the emergence of women\u2019s suffrage. The roots of the Nineteenth Amendment lie in the nineteenth century especially among those black and white women who refused to give up on the intersectional nature of the struggle for black and women\u2019s rights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/history\/files\/2022\/07\/BACON2021-491x636.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"410\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/history\/files\/2022\/07\/BACON2021-491x636.jpg 491w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/history\/files\/2022\/07\/BACON2021-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/history\/files\/2022\/07\/BACON2021-768x994.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/history\/files\/2022\/07\/BACON2021-1187x1536.jpg 1187w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/history\/files\/2022\/07\/BACON2021-1583x2048.jpg 1583w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/history\/files\/2022\/07\/BACON2021-464x600.jpg 464w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/history\/files\/2022\/07\/BACON2021-scaled.jpg 1978w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>2019<\/h1>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><div class=\"bu_collapsible_container \" aria-live=\"polite\" data-customize-animation=\"false\"><h3 class=\"bu_collapsible\" aria-expanded=\"false\"tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">2019 Bacon Lecture: Martha S.

Jones, Society of Black Alumni Presidential Professor at Johns Hopkins University for the 2019 Gaspar G. Bacon Lecture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Birthright Citizens tells how African American activists radically transformed the terms of citizenship for all Americans. Before the Civil War, colonization schemes and black laws threatened to deport former slaves born in the United States. Birthright Citizens recovers the story of how African American activists remade national belonging through battles in legislatures, conventions, and courthouses. They faced formidable opposition, most notoriously from the US Supreme Court decision in Dred Scott. Still, Martha S. Jones explains, no single case defined their status. Former slaves studied law, secured allies, and conducted themselves like citizens, establishing their status through local, everyday claims. All along they argued that birth guaranteed their rights. With fresh archival sources and an ambitious reframing of constitutional law-making before the Civil War, Jones shows how as the Fourteenth Amendment constitutionalized the birthright principle, black Americans&#8217; aspirations were realized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The lecture is available to stream below:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jIas1Wd3oLQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2023 2022 2021 2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20057,"featured_media":17823,"parent":16541,"menu_order":9,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/no-sidebars.php","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21314"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20057"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21314"}],"version-history":[{"count":37,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21314\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24397,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21314\/revisions\/24397"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16541"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
