Description
Join us for the fifth part of a six-part discussion series exploring the Declaration of Sentiments and the progress made on those grievances through grassroots reform and national legislation from 1848 to 2018. Today's program discusses how women's rights reformers demanded equality in education and in the workplace.
About Resolutions Revisited
The Declaration of Sentiments written for the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention declares a list of grievances similar to those of the Declaration of Independence. Explore and discuss these grievances, deeply rooted in the resolute and principled beliefs of the time with Dr. Melinda Grube and park staff at Women’s Rights National Historical Park.
This six-part series will take place on six Saturdays from December to June. Each session will be held in the theater located on the first floor of the Women's Rights National Historical Park Visitor Center. Sessions begin at 2:00 P.M. No pre-registration is required. Participation is encouraged!
