Hello City of Winooski!
All are welcomed to these two events on Wednesday, February 5th!
"Women in the State House" a four-panel story exhibition begins with early 19th century women's suffrage advocate Clarina Howard Nichols, continues with Vermont's early women legislators in the 1920's, and concludes with women exercising political power on an equal footing with their male colleagues. Governor Philip B. Scott, Speaker Mitzi Johnson and Senate President Tim Ashe, and some of the women featured in the exhibition open at 4, followed by a reception until 6:00pm. At 7:30pm in House Chambers, a special Farmers' Night performance, "Honoring the 19th Amendment Through Word and Song" takes place. Marlboro College professor Meg Mott leads a dialogue on the amendment's history and meaning. She'll be accompanied by Wesleyan University scholar/composer Neely Bruce conducting the State House Singers in his original choral arrangement of the Bill of Rights, along with the premiere of his 19th Amendment composition.
