After Garnet became the Superintendent of the Suffrage Department for the
National Association of Colored Women (NACW), the Equal Suffrage League affiliated with the National Association of Colored Women. The small organization initially met in Garnet's seamstress shop.[3] In 1907 the Equal Suffrage League and National Association of Colored Women jointly supported a resolution supporting the principles of the
Niagara Movement that advocated for equal rights for all
American citizens. [2]
The organization was short-lived, ending when Garnet died in 1911.[3]
