Panel Discussion: Perspectives on the Suffrage Centennial
Sunday, July 26, 2020, 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
Women of the Nation Arise! brought together a panel of scholars and experts to advise the development of the exhibition and examine the contributions of Staten Island’s suffragists, present-day issues of political equality, and voter participation.
