SUFFRAGE CONFERENCE EVENT ON NOV. 4, 2017 PROMOTES CULTURAL HERITAGE TOURISM
Saturday, November 4, 2017 is a conference sponsored by the New York State Archives Partnership Trust at the Cultural Education Center, 222 Madison Avenue, Empire State Plaza, Albany, NY. For information: 518-465-4162. It’s good news that suffrage centennial observances and celebrations will attract visitors to gatherings like this one.
A LONG-OVERDUE INITIATION, SAYS PAM ELAM
Pam Elam, president of the initiative to build a women’s suffrage statue in Central Park in NYC, says no one can expect that one statue will meet all the needs and desires of so many people who have been waiting so long for it. “Our statue project represents a long-overdue beginning. The timing is right as we get ready to celebrate the national woman suffrage centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment and the 200th anniversary of the birth of Susan B. Anthony, both in 2020. We hope that our effort will encourage others around the country and around the world to honor the women who inspire them in whatever ways they feel appropriate. Together, let’s make people aware of a history that fully, fairly, and finally includes the vast and varied roles women have played in it.”
