But that morning, he had a letter in his pocket from his mother.
Her name was Feb Byrne.
Hurrah and vote for suffrage.
Don't keep them in doubt.
Be a good boy and help.
Harry Byrne listened to his mother.
He voted yes.
The 19th Amendment passed by one vote.
Because a mother wrote a letter to her son.
A small act of courage carried in his pocket.
Ida B. Wells had been fighting for the 19th Amendment for longer than almost anyone.
When the suffrage march arrived in Washington in 1913, seven years earlier, she was told she couldn't march with the white women.
She'd have to march at the back.
She refused that indignity.
She waited on the sidewalk while the march passed, and then she slipped out and joined her Illinois delegation in the middle of the march anyway.
The 19th Amendment was a victory, but it was also a betrayal.
One important door opened, but inside that door, a different one was still closed.
That is the American pattern.
The advance that isn't complete.
The victory that leaves someone behind.
