| Time to Think: “I beg you to speak of Woman as you do of the Negro, speak of her as a human being, as a citizen of the United States, as a half of the people in whose hands lies the destiny of this Nation.” ~ Susan B. Anthony Take a few minutes to contemplate by yourself or discuss with a friend the meaning of this quote. How have women shaped the United States? Would America have accomplished what it has without gender equality? How have you been personally impacted by gender equality? What would life be like without gender equality? Action Activities: Short: Read the 19th Amendment or the Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions. Medium: Watch our Patriot Lesson video on Elizabeth Cady Stanton or Susan B. Anthony. We also recommend NHD Documentary the Fight for Women’s Rights (found on Youtube.com). Long: Visit your local library to read more about the Women’s Rights movement or watch the movie Iron Jawed Angels, which follows the actions of Alice Paul and Lucy Burns and how they impacted the women’s suffrage movement. |
The Patriot Week Foundation achieved its 501(c)(3) status in December 2012 and has moved forward by building a sustainable, nonpartisan organization. Currently staffed with an Operations Manager and Education Consultant, the Patriot Week Foundation will be adding to its complement of talent shortly.
This unique, historically grounded, non-partisan approach is desperately needed in our toxic political environment. In no small measure, the fate of the nation depends on it.
