The people we profiled were part of the movement for abolition and racial justice in Illinois. Convention delegates and their families were generally more prosperous than most Black Illinoisans, but their agenda\u2014repealing the black laws, securing the vote for Black men, and ensuring education for Black children\u2014benefited everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although sources reveal less about women than about men, there is still much to be said about women\u2019s lives and legacies. Our research aims to emphasize women\u2019s voices and stories. We hope to help create a more holistic and representative narrative and resist the tendency to push women into the shadows of history.<\/span><\/p>\n
