For example, undergraduate students of color were more likely to report having a problem knowing where to get course help, students from low-income households were more likely to report internet connectivity issues, and female student

Leaders of the women’s suffrage movement relied on public performance to promote their cause. They used marches, plays and demonstrations at baseball games to recruit women to join their efforts and to persuade men to vote for legislation that would expand voting rights.
