during this time as well, elizabeth katie stanton and susan b. anthonyy stone, all these early leaders, all kind of die or fade out of the movement. in 1890 the two organizations merge into the creatively named american national women's suffrage association. anthony will be the de facto leader until 1900, and then she'll turn over the presidency to carrie chapman catt. one of the first women to receive a college degree from iowa state. catt will lead nawsa. nobody says national american women's suffrage association because it's a mouthful, they saw nawsa. carrie chapman catt herself when she takes office thinks the federal amendment is a dead issue. she thinks we have to go state by state by state, like dominos that will eventually bring about a federal amendment. again, we're looking at this. and this is the story i thought i was going to tell a second ago. that idea that only white women got the right to vote is also not true because it depended on what the state did. so, black women in chicago, for example, were organized around and with ida b. wells,

the overt exclusion of women was a huge blow to susan b anthony and women across america. yet, they persisted. the 19th amendment to the constitution was first proposed eight years later in 1878. it would be another 42 years after that white women would be able to vote freely. if freedom which is now normal was for 50 years after the end of the civil war considered a nonstarter. during the civil rights movement, individuals fought for years against segregation from rosa parks to ruby bridges, the little rock nine, john lewis, dr. martin luther king. what americans endured decades of discrimination, ridicule and violence. defeat after defeat along the way. it was not until the civil rights act of 1964, 99 years after the end of the civil war, that segregation was officially outlawed in public places and jim crow laws were banned. conflict often reduces change but change is slow often not looking like change at all. in the case of this week looking a lot like a setback. today's setbacks are tomorrow's comebacks and the comeback is our work. as my father taught me all those y

that was part of a lasting schism between susan b. anthony and myra bradwell. he just abandoned a really important thing for women's rights and service of this one case. and maybe bradwell would have done it differently if she was the one making her own argument. the other thing i thought was interesting is that there was opposing counsel in the slaughterhouse case, into his opposing counsel? matthew carpenter. he argued the other side of slaughterhouse. i have not read anything about it. i do not know what happened. we just know that three justices changed. ellen: i have one comment. both cases came before the court before the election, and this was the election of 1872, which determined the future of the republican party. it could have been eliminated at that point because of the schism , and the cases announced immediately. not after the election, but after the inauguration of grant, so there is some very political timing involved in holding the decision. christopher: anybody else from the audience? i have another question i would love to hear this panel's v

he took an audience with susan b anthony. you know the first the first presidential platform in 1912 to endorse suffrage the first women to work as high ranking positions. a campaign, the first woman to second a nomination was tr his nomination. i mean it's a consistent theme throughout entire life starting that influence of his mother, his grandmother, his aunt. yeah. if if these women had not been born in this generation, how would this story be different? who would be the president baby? barney would be? yes. i mean, i think barney had all the political skill and insight of a very smart, strategic advisor know whether she had the personality everybody loved her personality, you hear? i mean, you know, obviously, roosevelt was a showman and enjoyed the crowd. he was extroverted. i think, you know what's interesting is, again, connie was the one that after theodore roosevelt dies, actually begins to take his place. theodore roosevelt dies 1919. and he was expected to be he was the leading candidate for presidential nominatio

elizabeth cady stanton and susan b anthony famously as the 15th amendment passes congress and goes to the states for ratification, say, no, we will not support the 15th amendment. it is an abomination against the white women of america. famously at a meeting in 1869, as this organization figures how to support the ratification of the 15th amendment. douglass and stanton will elizabeth cady stanton, one of the leading suffragists, will get into a very vicious fight on stage, and stanton say, i will not be governed by the ignorant --. she invokes all sorts of racist tropes irish men and chinese, arguing that these men will now govern the educated white womanhood america. and it will be degrading and. and frederick douglass, on the other hand, is watching recently freed people across the south and elsewhere in this country being slaughtered by white people. right. the war is not over for them. their lives now have very little value that they're not property to white people and they're being slaughtered. and frederick douglass says, we must have the vote now to protect our lives. we are w

the guardian reports, susan b anthony pro-life americas president, marjorie dannenfelser indicated thatons in order to go on offense and truly defeat the abortion industry in the long-term, we must strengthen the pro-life, pro-woman, profamily result of the republican party. centered on the inalienable right to life for the unborn child that exists under the 14th amendment. she said in a strategy memo issued earlier this week. joining our conversation, president and ceo of planned parenthood federation of america and planned parenthood action fund, michelle is back with us as well. alexis, when you look at the states where the voters said, i want abortion to be legal in my state and i want donald trump for president, how have you, over the two weeks of having that information available to you, how have you made sense of that?>> i think that the only mandate that donald trump got on election night was to keep a national abortion ban off of our bodies, the president-elect knows that abortion won on election night, whether it is arizona, colorado, maryland, missouri, montana, new york, acr

julian: i got my susan b anthony flip of the coin. jonathan: the cfo said this of marriott international. a measure of demand declining in november -- of past election cycles. this is weighing on business activity this time around. lisa: why make a bigger statement about what you're going to do regardless if it favors one of the other if you will become a potentially political punching bag, which we have seen has come up with different corporate actions. i'm thinking of new pond steel -- nippon steel or ford with the factories in new mexico. it is hard to make a deal where everything can become a meme for a political campaign. jonathan: are you staying up late? julian: i think so. jonathan: thank you, sir. an update on stories elsewhere with your bloomberg brief, dani burger. dani: european and u.s. intelligence officials believe that russia is behind a plan to place incendiary devices on cargo planes bound for north america. german security services think that a partial fire in july was probably planted by russia. officials told bloo
