Zoom discussion - no charge
Sunday, October 25 at 2PM CT / 1PM MT

Dr. Claire Jerry, lead curator of political history in the Division of Political and Military History at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, will present via Zoom on women’s suffrage. The program is courtesy of the Museum of the South Dakota State Historical Society.   

Those interested should email Museum Director Jay Smith (Jay.Smith@state.sd.us) in advance of the program to receive a direct invitation to join the call. 

 Jerry will present from her office in Washington, D.C. Attendees will be able to ask questions via chat at the end of the presentation.    The program will feature people and materials important to the suffrage movement. The number of suffragists who are household names is small, and their material history has been even more hidden. While acknowledging the famous, this presentation will introduce additional suffrage activists whose contributions should be remembered and the objects they used on their way to victory.
