If you do your math, you’ll find that women couldn’t vote for nearly 150 years after our nation was created out of the Revolutionary War. . .talk about injustice!
I have a very interesting story to tell you today. It’s about how women got together, starting in 1848 with the first Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York, to fight to end slavery and secure the right to vote for all Americans.
It took a long time, but the fight they started paid off.
Two of the women at the forefront of these struggles were Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Stanton. They traveled widely, meeting with women, speaking to audiences large and small, urging an end to slavery and voting rights for all. Often traveling with them was a six-foot-tall black woman, a freed

It took a long time, but the fight they started paid off.
Two of the women at the forefront of these struggles were Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Stanton. They traveled widely, meeting with women, speaking to audiences large and small, urging an end to slavery and voting rights for all. Often traveling with them was a six-foot-tall black woman, a freed
woman named Sojourner Truth, who was known for her powerful speeches and advocacy for both women's rights and the abolition of slavery.
Sojourner Truth’s most famous speech, "Ain't I a Woman?", delivered at the Women's Rights Convention in 1851, highlighted the intersections of race and gender, drawing attention to the struggles faced by Black women. Her words resonated deeply, challenging the prevailing notions of womanhood and equality.
Throughout the years, women like Truth, Anthony, and Stanton rallied together, forming alliances and fighting relentlessly for social justice. Their determination laid the groundwork for future generations to continue the fight for equality, culminating in the eventual ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920.
The legacy of their work reminds us of the importance of solidarity in social movements and the ongoing struggle for rights that persists to this day. As we reflect on their contributions, we honor the courage and resilience of those who paved the way for progress in women's rights and civil rights overall.
The Man Without a Country
by Hackett, Walter (adaptation)
NARRATOR: Fort Massac is a small yet strategic United States Army outpost that stands on the muddy banks of the lower Mississippi River. In this year of 1805, its officers and men are lonely and none too happy about it. But on this particular day the outpost is buzzing with excitement. A famous guest has come to visit—Aaron Burr! Aaron Burr, former Vice-President of the United States, rabid Federalist, master politician, smooth-tongued orator; Aaron Burr, the man who had killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel. The Colonel, disappointed that Mr. Burr’s visit will be a brief one, attempts to prolong his stay.
