The Vermont Suffrage Centennial Alliance invites you to a commemoration of the 101st anniversary of the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote. The pandemic led to us having to reschedule the 2020 Centennial Parade and SuffrageFest event.
Pulitzer prize-winning author and historian, Annette Gordon-Reed will deliver the keynote presentation and the afternoon will focus on multi-layered messages relating to voting with additional speakers, poets, music, and more. The program, which is currently under development, will be finalized in July.
Gordon-Reed is also scheduled to be at the Kellogg Hubbard Library in Montpelier where she will briefly discuss her book, On Juneteenth and sign copies of the book which will be available for purchase. Tentatively planned for 12:30 p.m.
Annette Gordon-Reed is the Carl M. Loeb University Professor at Harvard University. She won sixteen book prizes, including the Pulitzer Prize in History and National Book Award for The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family.
The Vermont Suffrage Centennial Alliance is a project of the League of Women Voters of Vermont Education Fund.
