Blackwing Limited Edition Volume XIX - set of 12

On August 18, 1920, Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the 19th Amendment. After nearly a century of lobbying, marches, and protests, it was finally illegal to deny anyone the right to vote on the basis of sex. This was a huge step forward for equal voting rights in the United States, but it was not without its flaws.

Some members of the suffrage movement had sought to exclude black women from the amendment's protection. And even after the passage of the 19th Amendment, the voting rights of Black, Indigenous, Asian, and Latino Americans continued to be repressed, often violently.

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. It features purple packaging and a three-sided white and golden yellow imprint inspired by the suffrage flag, striped silver bezel and purple rubber. The 36 yellow stars represent the 36 states that have ratified the amendment. The solid graphite is ideal for writing and drawing.
