The Crisis

W.E.B. Du Bois was a staunch supporter of the women’s suffrage movement. He used the magazine he edited, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)’s The Crisis: A Record of the Darker Races, to advance the cause. From 1911 to 1920, he published essays from leading women’s suffrage advocates. In August 1915, the Crisis featured articles by “leading thinkers of colored America” in favor of suffrage.
