Program Description

Description

Join us Thursday, October 4, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. when Dora Townsend will discuss the history of the American Women’s Suffrage Movement and the story of courage, commitment and perseverance in the face of physical violence, anger and public efforts to hurt and humiliate the women who championed the cause. She will focus on the story of her great-grandmother, Dora Kelly Lewis, who played a significant role in many aspects of the movement by placing her in the historical context of the whole suffrage movement. With excerpts from the letters that she wrote from jail to her mother and daughter, as well as other first person accounts of significant events, the Women’s Suffrage Movement story comes alive. Registration for this event is required.
