#SueBSays Campaign Culls Wisdom From Anthony's Letters

nps.gov

The 19th amendment, guaranteeing American women the right to vote, was ratified 95 years ago this month.

The Susan B. Anthony Center at the University of Rochester is marking the occasion by starting a social medial campaign to familiarize people with the suffragist's thoughts on a  number of social issues, such as domestic violence, racism and mental health.

Students poured through a collection of Susan B. Anthony's letters to find some pearls of wisdom and will be sharing them over the next ten months with the Twitter hashtag #SueBSays and on the center's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/URSBAC?fref=ts

Click on the audio link above to hear the center's director, Catherine Cerulli, PhD,  talk about the project.

Beth Adams joined WXXI as host of Morning Edition in 2012 after a more than two-decade radio career. She was the longtime host of the WHAM Morning News in Rochester. Her career also took her from radio stations in Elmira, New York, to Miami, Florida.
