Plan to visit “Convention Days” in July 2020 in Seneca Falls, New York!

The Introduction: Susan B. Anthony & Elizabeth Cady Stanton & Amelia Bloomer! on Vimeo.

Convention Days in Seneca Falls, New York will be big this year.  JULY 17, 18, & 19, 2020.

The community has laid out plans for the entire year of 2020. It’s a “go to” place during the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution. This basic educational video, “The Introduction,” features Amelia Bloomer’s introduction of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, It also shows some of the tourist locations in Seneca Falls, NY.

Introductions are important. Seneca Falls, NY has a statue commemorating the historic introduction of Amelia Bloomer when she brought together Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

REMEMBER THE PAST AND CARRY IT OVER INTO THE PRESENT AND FUTURE!

Supporters of 2020, the national suffrage centennial, have been introducing each other and networking like never before. We’re doing this, as well as lobbying, establishing our own organizations based on human values, and more, rather than relying on partisan politics that promote certain special interests over others. Behind the scenes, US citizens are establishing a parallel network based on cooperation when facing the challenges before us. This is urgent NOW!

Three audio podcasts highlighting “Jailed for Freedom”

THREE AUDIO PODCAST SERIES SHOW U.S. SUFFRAGE ACTIVISTS FOR THE COMPLEX, PERSISTENT, AND FESITY INDIVIDUALS THEY WERE:

(1.) “Trouble Brewing in Seneca Falls.” Podcast #1. Podcast #2. Podcast #3. Podcast #4. Podcast #5. Podcast #6. Podcast #7. The story of the women of Seneca Falls, NY who planned the 1848 women’s rights convention. How they had to get out of their comfort zone to pull off a social revolt in mind and spirit that sent shock waves through the nation.

(2.) “Playing Politics with the President.” Podcast #1. Podcast #2. Podcast #3. Podcast #4. Podcast #5. Podcast #6. Podcast #7. Podcast #8. Podcast #9. How it became evident from 1913 to 1917 that bolder tactics and strategies would become necessary for women to win the right to vote. The “polite” strategy no longer worked. Success came about as a result of everyone working together, plus the mix of feisty devil-may-care types who collaborated with the more traditional types of women.

(3.) “The Night of Terror.” Podcast #1. Podcast #2. Podcast #3. Podcast #4. Podcast #5. Podcast #6. Podcast #7. Podcast #8. The story of how militant women suffrage activists were beaten and terrorized one night in their prison cells near the nation’s capitol in 1917. This audio narrative isn’t for the faint of heart. And it doesn’t represent all of the suffrage activists, but rather a segment of them who didn’t mind stepping out of women’s traditional roles.

Olivia Twine radio interview & “Yellow Wallpaper” final tour: Suffrage Centennial News Notes

Listen to the “NonFiction Railroad” interview of Olivia Twine from WIOX radio in the Catskill Mountains of New York State. “The Writer’s Voice” moderator Bonnie Lykes-Bigler asks Twine, a contributing editor to SuffrageCentennials.com, about the 2017 New York State suffrage centennial. Olivia provides us with a fascinating overview of her work relative to suffrage and women’s history. In 2015, the town of Woodstock, New York passed a resolution encouraging its residents to honor its women’s history and to participate in the 2017 suffrage centennial. Olivia’s recent article on the state centennial highlights upcoming special events and exhibits during 2017.

FINAL TOUR of “THE YELLOW WALLPAPER,” A PROGRAM FOR SUFFRAGE CENTENNIAL PROGRAMS

“The Yellow Wallpaper” stars Michèle LaRue in Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s feminist thriller. In 1885, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a vibrant young woman and dedicated writer, was brought to her knees by marriage, a well-meaning husband, and a questionable “cure.” Relying on blind faith, instinct, and courage, she willed herself back to health. Perhaps the single element most vital to her recovery was the writing of “The Yellow WallPaper” published in 1892. Turning autobiography to fiction, the story continues to fascinate readers today. This production—a faithful dramatization directed by Warren Kliewer—is fully staged and performed in period costume. Availability: through December 2017. Running time: one hour. Fee: $650, plus travel expenses as negotiated. Fee includes Q&A promotional materials, technical requirements list, playbill master. For more information: michelelarue.com.

Suffrage centennial events already underway in New York State

Watch the Video

Centennial celebrations thru 2020 engage folks worldwide! on Vimeo.

The Lake George Historical Association Museum has set aside a small exhibition room in the LGHA Museum, 290 Canada Street, Lake George, NY to interpret suffrage activity in the Town of Caldwell (later Lake George and Village of Lake George) from the early 19th century through 1920. This year, 2017, marks the NY State suffrage centennial. Susan B. Anthony visited Lake George on several occasions to press for the cause for women suffrage. Katrina Trask, George Foster Peabody, Mary Loines and Mary Jacobi were among the Lake George/Bolton residents who persisted in keeping the issues alive. The pro and anti suffrage constituencies will be addressed. The LGHA has received a grant from the Lake Champlain Basin Program (LCBP) to kick off a 2107 exhibition with a theatrical performance portraying suffragists in Warren (Lake George) and Essex (Ticonderoga) Counties. LGHA collaborated with North Country Community College and the Ticonderoga Womens Studies Program to develop a dramatic script about the life of Essex resident Inez Milholland for the musical theater department at Lake George High School that was performed in 2016. For more information, contact Lisa Adamson at 518-307-7842.

Women’s Suffrage Centennials in the news!

Watch the Video

Highlights of Suffrage Centennials: From now to 2020, go where the action is for votes for women! on Vimeo.

This video highlights past suffrage centennials. We’re on to other events and celebrations. New York State has a funded suffrage commission preparing for 2017, the state’s celebration of 100 years of the state’s women voting. Canada has suffrage centennial events in 2016. Tennessee has a new statue that has been unveiled.

Breaking NewsNew York State women elected to public office who are preparing for 2017 haven’t been shy about commenting on the inappropriate remarks by Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump released recently. Many of them have been involved in the lobbying effort to create and fund a state suffrage centennial commission, including many legislators signing on to the bill passed last year in Albany, NY.

One suffrage centennial supporter, NYS Republican State Senator Betty Little, had this to say about Trump’s public comments on News10: “As a member of the Senate Republican conference, I have been very proud of our work to advance issues important to women. I was honored to sponsor the law creating the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission to celebrate women gaining the right to vote in New York State in 1917. Certainly I am very disappointed in Trump’s statements on that tape. These are his words, his actions and his responsibility to address them. It is up to voters to make their own conclusions and decisions.”

Now it’s time for Governor Andrew Cuomo to sign the bill. It’s said to have been pushed to the top of the pile of bills to sign in the near future. Once the bill is signed, the push is on to get $2.9 million funding for the commission’s work.
