Celebrating Passage of the
19th Amendment!
Our branch participated in Vienna’s celebration of Liberty Amendments Month by performing a readers’ theater play on July 10, 2021, in the Vienna Community Center.
Written by Rosemary Knower, Failure is Impossible uses original source material to tell the story of the fight for passage of the 19th amendment.
-
- In the play, branch members read the words of women’s suffrage supporters from Abigail Adams to Woodrow Wilson.
-
- Performers pose with suffragist Alice Paul (back row with right arm extended).
Dressed appropriately, members also took part in a re-enactment of a suffragist rally.
-
- During the original demonstrations in January, 1917, suffragists carried signs such as this one, addressed to Pres. Wilson.
-
- Alice Paul, on right, joined the re-enactors in spirit.
