U.S. soldiers watching the performance of Tsianina Redfeather (a.k.a. Tsianina Blackstone), during World War I .
Tsianina Redfeather (also known as Tsianina Blackstone), a famous Creek-Cherokee Native American Indian mezzo-soprano, plays the Hawaiian guitar and sings for U.S. soldiers in YMCA- sponsored entertainment for the troops in a canteen, 1917-1918, during World War 1. (Historic note: While sailing to Europe in 1918 as a member of the American Expeditionary Forces, her vessel, the HMS Carmania, was struck by a torpedo. She continued the journey, entertained thousands of troops, and received a commendation for her service. Her interest in entertaining the troops, according to her autobiography, rested in the fact that so many American Indian soldiers were fighting overseas-- around 17,000. After her return to the U.S. her career continued to escalate. This clip perhaps represents the only surviving footage of this truly remarkable individual.)

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt speaks about the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (ratified on August 18, 1920)
Mrs Carrie Chapman Catt speaks after ratification of the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving women the right to vote. Catt, President of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, is seated in a chair in an office or library and reads from a prepared script. She traces the roots of the struggle, for the rights of women in America, back to an 1848 convention in Seneca Falls, New York. She notes that grievances related to woman suffrage were the same in number as grievances enumerated by male colonists in America against the British crown. She notes that it took George Washington 6 years to resolve those grievances via war, but it took 72 years for women to resolve their suffrage grievances via the law.
