Waytes of Boston" was an African American educator and public speaker who campaigned for Black women's suffrage and the Progressive Party under Theodore Roosevelt.
[2] She completed missionary training courses at Shaw University in 1901, and then moved to Chicago to attend the Moody Bible Institute in 1904.
[2] She taught at the Florida Institute at Live Oak until 1910, when she was appointed the superintendent of Bible school work for the Church Federation Society of New York.
[4] She was selected by the party as a campaign speaker and spoke on its behalf in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Massachusetts, for which she received a letter of commendation from the former president.
Her first hand knowledge of southern racism and familiarity with the Chicago community gave her the background to support her strong oration skills.
After suffrage, her messages focused on more religious themes related to the Social Gospel than women's rights.
