TODAY, April 8th, is the day Hattie Redmond first registered to vote in Oregon following the victory of the Women's Suffrage vote in 1913! We celebrate it as "Hattie Day!" because Hattie Redmond is credited with laying the groundwork for the Civil Rights Movement in Oregon in the mid-twentieth century.
📣 📣 📣
Hattie Redmond was a prominent figure & leader in the struggle for Women’s Suffrage in Oregon, particularly as a Black Woman living in a state that had Black exclusionary laws in its constitution. At the HRWGC we strive daily to honor and center her strong legacy for justice with our Intersectional Feminist, Trauma-Informed, Student & Survivor-Centered programs, events and affirming space we hold both collectively & in community!
📣 📣 📣
Visit the Oregon Encyclopedia to read an article by Janice Dig about Harriet "Hattie" Redmond with historical documents. Also, please stop by to the Hattie Redmond Women & Gender Center to learn more about our physical space & history (link in bio) and to engage with our hilarious Staff of Lovers & Fighters (maybe you even saw some in the background 👀).
📣 📣 📣
And from HRWGC Center Director Fatima: please remember, in honor of Hattie Redmond's activism and Black American Suffragist legacy: your VOICE and your VOTE is essential - and deserves to be heard! We will persist! All our love. ❤️
