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.
