About this Event
As a tie-in to the National PBS Program, "American Experience: The Vote, "
New Mexico PBS is producing a short-run podcast series on the women's
suffrage movement in New Mexico. Our state offers an unusual opportunity to
present stories of the vote because of our history as a Western frontier
state, but also one that had an existing political structure and culture
long before it became part of the United states. Women's clubs, made up
mostly of Anglo Protestant women, began to organize around suffrage in New
Mexico in the 1890s. But those early efforts did not include women who were
of Native American or Mexican American ancestry. And yet, it was Hispanic
women who would prove crucial in getting the 19th Amendment passed in New
Mexico.
In this event, we will show segments of the "American Experience: The Vote"
program, and then Megan Kamerick will lead a conversation about the women's
suffrage history in New Mexico which will give attendees a taste of the
podcast series.
Panelists:
Sylvia Ramos Cruz, M.D.- Women's Suffrage Historian
Martha Burk-Political Psychologist, Author of "Your Voice, Your Vote"
Pamelya Herndon- Lawyer and CEO of the KWH Law Center for Social Justice and
Change
Dr. Meredith R. Machen, Director and Chair of Education, Immigration, and
History Committees, League of Women Voters of New Mexico
