Lincoln Speaker Series Features Virtual Presentations on Women and Their Roles in Suffrage, Abolitionism

October 6, 2020 By From The Editors

The Museum of the Grand Prairie’s 14th annual Lincoln Speaker series continues with a focus on the influential and complicated role of women in the fight for the abolition of slavery, as well as their own struggle in the right to vote.

The series is presented virtually for the first time. All speakers will be broadcast on Facebook and YouTube Live.

Following last week’s opener on “Harriet Beecher Stowe: The Road to Anti-Slavery Advocate,” — view the replay on the museum’s Facebook page or its YouTube page — the series continues at 7 p.m. on Nov. 1 with “History Brought to Life: Susan B. Anthony.” Annette Baldwin performs as Susan B. Anthony in the presentation, which features Anthony’s own words in her tireless struggle toward a more just society through abolition and leadership for women’s equality.

At 2 p.m. Nov. 15 the presentation is “Women, Politics and Abolition — A Complicated Collaboration.” Professor Stacey Robertson will reveal how women abolitionists in Illinois and the Old Northwest engaged in partisan politics as an avenue to end slavery and through this process found themselves increasingly aware of their own gendered disempowerment.

All lectures are free.
