Historian kate color gives American History tv guided tour of an exhibit marking the centennial of the 19th advancement. Using images of early suffrage leaders, she shows how the movement intersected with the abolitionist and temperance movements. This is the first of a two part program. Hi everyone, welcome to the National Portrait gallery at the Smithsonian Institution im the curator of votes for women. For this exhibition i worked 3. 5 years researching, finding all the objects. We have about 124 objects, 63 portraits. I was hoping to commemorate the 19th amendment and tell the history of the 19th amendment and how women lobbied to get this amendment passed and ratified. But also ask questions about it. Ask what does it do and what does it not to. And why 1965, the Voting Rights act, was considered a part two of the voting amendment. I will show you a few of the objects that tell this history. We are in the first gallery of the exhibition. I mentioned we have portraits that drive th
Trevor now, every convention is not just about officially picking the nominee. Its also about telling a story about what the party represents. From the getgo last night, it was clear the democrats were trying to portray themselves as the party of diversity, unity and also patriotism. The show kicked off with people of every race, ethnicity and gender reciting the constitution, then the pledge of allegiance, then singing the national anthem, after which they were ominously trapped inside an american flag. Im assuming the only way to set them free is by electing joe biden president. Its clear why the democrats have to lay the patriotism on so thick because between protesting Police Brutality and kneeling during the anthem, the republicans are tried to make it seem democrats dont love america just because they criticize it. I get why democrats are trying to fight that perception, but if i want t to be honest, you will never beat trump when it comes to symbolic patriotism. Youre seeing an

Thencies tink racism. One of the powerful moments in the show came from a woman whose trump supporting father died from covid 19. I am one of the many who lost a loved one to covid. My dad should be here today, but he hasnt. He had faith in donald trump. He voted for him, listened to him, believed him and his mouthpieces when they said that coronavirus was under control and going to disappear. My dad went to a karaoke bar with his friends. A few weeks later, he was put on a ventilator and after five agonizing days, he died alone. His only preexisting condition was trusting donald trump. One of the last things that my father said to me was that he felt betrayed by the likes of donald trump. Trevor wow. That was absolutely scathing. And shes right. Believing donald trump is truly one of the most harmful things you can do. And that was even before he wasup. Just ask atlantic city, his first two wives or any graduate of Trump University the degree was made of asbestos but after hearing fro
