Some things from my collected
Votes for Women stash.
Today is the 100th Anniversary
of the ratification of the 19th Amendment
that gave women the right to vote.
Picked up the Commemorative stamps
at the post office when they came out
this past Saturday.
Ten years ago this month I went
to the groundbreaking
for the Suffragist Memorial.
I signed my name for the time capsule
that would be a part of the site.
I live 5 miles away so it was time
to check on the memorial.
I had read that things were "on hold" with Covid, but
this was a real disappointment.
Ten years and this is as far
as they are on the completion.
So I drove back to the Occoquan Workhouse.
I never knew anything about this story till 12 years ago.
My three daughters never learned about it in school.
Not till I was assigned to watch the movie-
did I learn the story of what
happened here in Occoquan, VA.
A bit of history about the purple and gold.
A bit about the story of the yellow roses.
The Lucy Burns Museum was closed today.
So part two of the story will happen soon.
