African Americans were not involved in campaigning for women’s suffrage

Answer 1

African Americans were not involved in campaigning for women’s suffrage — this is false. African American women (e.g., Ida B. Wells, Mary Church Terrell, Frances E. W. Harper) and Black clubs actively campaigned for suffrage, though they often faced racism and were marginalized by some white suffrage organizations.
