Gallier Gathering: Women's Suffrage Centennial

The Centennial Woman’s Suffrage Project of Southeastern Louisiana University will commemorate one hundred years of the nineteenth amendment granting women the right to vote with a virtual Gallier Gathering. Dr. Carol Madere of the Department of Communication and Media Studies will speak on the national movement and laws which have changed to grant women more civil rights, Dr. Lisa Moody of the English Department will describe the state suffrage movement, and Dr. Elizabeth Hornsby of the Department of Languages and Communication will discuss the black suffragist movement. This panel discussion is part of the traveling exhibit on suffrage, which was produced through a Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities Rebirth Grant, and will be on view at the Gallier House on November 30–December 11.
