It’s suffragette white, not Hillary Clinton white. History did not start in 2016. https://twitter.com/joycewhitevance/status/1325248832637198336
Just thinking how prescient it was that Shirley Chisholm and Geraldine Ferraro wore “Hillary Clinton white” in 1969 and 1984. Definitely no other historical reasons for women candidates to wear that color, no way... c’mon, learn some history folks
The historical reasons why the women’s suffrage (voting rights) movement wore white:
- It symbolized the idea of purity
- It was a color many women already owned in their wardrobe, making it easy to “join the cause”
- It visually stood out in B&W photos https://www.crfashionbook.com/fashion/a26261899/the-history-of-women-wearing-suffragette-white/

Not trying to come off as super harsh. I voted for Clinton in 2016!
But trivializing Harris’ obvious nod to more than 100 years of women activists by calling it “honoring Hillary Clinton” is not just ignorant—it’s also insulting to the ordinary non-famous women who paved the way
