Dear friends. The PBS tv show "History Detectives" has a segment  where 
they unearth the origins of a purple and gold "Votes for Women" banner  found 
in an upstate New York attic! I'm their historical expert and I explain  how 
the winning of woman suffrage in NY in 1917 was the product of a new  
generation's activism and a tipping point on the road to the 1920 passage of  the 
federal amendment. 
The show airs Tues, Sept 20th at 8pm. If you'd like to  join a national 
network of VIEWING PARTIES in schools, clubs,  historical societies, living 
rooms-- please let me know. It's a great teaching  and community building 
opportunity. Plus, it's fun.
