The League of Women Voters invites you to a free webinar, THE UNTOLD STORY OF WOMEN OF COLOR IN THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS by author Carolyn Jefferson-Jenkins.

Dr. Carolyn Jefferson-Jenkins talks about her book beginning with the suffrage movement and continuing until the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the League of Women Voters in February 2020. She explores the ways women of color have been marginalized and how their contributions will positively influence the League of Women Voters as it moves into its next 100 years.

Dr. Jefferson-Jenkins served as the 15th national president of the League of Women Voters of the United States – the first, and so far, only African American to hold the position. Under her leadership, she promoted the League's strength as a grassroots organization and called for a focus on local elections and increasing the number of voters who participate in all elections.
