Sister Suffragists & The Harlem Hellfighter by playwright Sheila Bassoppo-Moyo is a historical drama that brings to life the courageous activism of three African American suffragists—Victoria Clay Haley, Madame C.J. Walker, and Ida B. Wells—and their connection to Sergeant Henry Johnson, a member of the famed Harlem Hellfighters. Set against the backdrop of St. Louis in the early 20th century, the play explores the intersection of racial justice, women’s rights, and wartime heroism. These three trailblazing women work tirelessly to secure the passage of the 19th Amendment, all while confronting the pervasive racism of their time. Their efforts to bring Sergeant Henry Johnson to St. Louis to expose the U.S. military’s discriminatory treatment of Black soldiers underscores their commitment to racial equity on a national scale. Performance Time: 1:00 PM PST | 3:00 PM CST | 4:00 PM EST (US & Canada)
