19th Amendment Pop-up Display Tours Berkshire Libraries
Respectfully Hers
The Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum announces a touring pop-up display which highlights the fight for the right to vote and encourage civic engagement this election year. The Rightfully Hers display was produced in 2020 for the centennial of Women’s Suffrage with the support of Unilever, The National Archives Foundation, Pivotal Ventures, Carl M. Freeman Foundation, the AARP & Denise Gwyn Ferguson. The four-panel display highlights the final years of the suffragist fight for the right to vote, the passage of the 19th amendment, and ways that we can work to ensure the right to vote for all citizens today.
​
​Alongside the exhibit, the League of Women Voters will be tabling at the Berkshire Athenaeum as we approach election day to ensure residents are registered and know their polling locations and other important voting information. The tour will conclude with a reenactment of Susan B. Anthony at the Lenox Library at 2:00 PM titled “Vote with Susan B. Anthony”. Attendees will hear the story of Berkshire native Susan B. Anthony and make their own “Vote” buttons.
