*** Summarized/Abridged Version ***
Thirtieth Convention of the Kentucky Equal Rights Association
Officers:
According to the Big Sandy News, under the article title, “Woman Suffrage Address Made in Louisa Thursday,” Madeline Breckinridge gave a speech in front of the courthouse in November 1919. Breckinridge addressed several points during her speech, and she informed her audience of the ongoing battle for women’s right to vote.
As part of the planning for the 2020 Commemorations for Women's Suffrage Centennial here in Kentucky, the Kentucky Woman Suffrage Project is interested in identifying the individuals who attended the signing of the ratification bill in Kentucky for the "Susan B. Anthony" Amendment.
The UK Libraries Special Collections Research Center added several new and revised collection guides to ExploreUK. Several recently digitized collections were added as well. See the list below for details or visit us in person!
