Blackwing Limited Edition Vol.XIX - Second Edition

Second edition of the XIX pencil released in 2020 for the centenary of the 19th American amendment.

On August 18, 1920, Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the 19th Amendment. After nearly a century of lobbying, marching, and protesting, it was finally illegal to deny anyone the right to vote based on sex. This was a massive step forward for equal voting rights in the United States, but it wasn’t without its flaws.

Some members of the suffrage movement had sought to exclude women of color from the amendment’s protections. And even after the 19th Amendment passed, the voting rights of Black, Indigenous, Asian, and Latinx people continued to be suppressed, often with violence.

Blackwing VOL. XIX is the tribute to the 19th Amendment and the ongoing fight for voting rights in the United States and around the world. Purple pencil with a silver ferrule and purple eraser. The 36 yellow stars etched on the pencil represent the 36 states that ratified the amendment.
The lead is extra-firm (like the classic Natural), it is ideal for writing and drawing.
