Bottom banner reads: “But the story didn’t end here.” Graphic from Verified Voting with the headline: “The 19th Amendment failed to:” followed by two points: (1) Ensure voting access for Black, Native, Asian American, and Latina women, and (2) End voter suppression tactics like poll taxes, literacy tests, and intimidation.
