DESCRIPTION:Women have been working side by side with each other and with men – fathers\, brothers\, partners\, husbands\, sons – throughout human existence.

SUMMARY:Women's Suffrage: The Movement in Louisville
DESCRIPTION:Only 100 years ago\, in 1920\, the 19th Amendment was ratified\, granting women the right to vote in the United States.\nThe fight for ratification was long and difficult for suffragists across the country\, but it wasn’t just a battle of national organizations and well-known leaders. Suffrage was gained through the hard work of women from every community and every walk of life. Suffragists were not all wealthy or influential\, but they were all determined to make their voices heard. The long-term results of their struggle are clear a century later: their efforts led to a breakdown of barriers that once barred women from realizing their potential as politicians\, professionals\, leaders\, and human beings. \nThis exhibit shares items from the Filson’s collections that document the suffrage movement in Louisville.

SUMMARY:American Conversations Essay Contest
DESCRIPTION:American Conversations is an essay contest open to residents of Founders’ Place Historical District\, Inc. between the ages of 17 – 29. This is our second year to participate in Civic Season and to offer the essay contest as a way to engage you people in expressing their ideas about our history and civic questions. This year’s topics are:\n– According to Merle Haggard’s 1971 song Okie from Muskogee\, “we still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse.” Is the flag as important a symbol in American life today as it was in generations past? How do your ideas about the flag differ from your parents’ or grandparents’ generation?\n– How are you committed to making America\, and in particular Muskogee\, a better place? What things have you done to ensure the future of our city and country remains not just strong\, but also just and equitable\, supporting the ideals on which our country was founded?\n– What does it mean to “be an American”? Should civics be taught in school again as a stand-alone class? It has been proposed that everyone pass a citizenship test to vote. Is this a good idea?\n– Our neighborhood\, Founders’ Place\, was carved out of the allotment given to Chief Pleasant Porter under the Dawes Act. How do you see tribal sovereignty and the common public good coming together in Oklahoma or our country? How could we in Founders’ Place acknowledge the Native lands our homes are built on\, or should we? Did any well-known Native Americans live in our neighborhood? How could they be honored?\n– Is democracy more about individual rights and freedoms or the collective good? Should the rights of the individual supersede those of society? Is it possible to balance both\, so that singular individual freedoms do not overpower the democracy of the whole? Give examples. \nPrizes are given for the best essay submissions. The contest runs parallel with our neighborhood home decorating contest from Juneteenth to July 4th.

SUMMARY:Explore the Richmond Uprising Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In both the Richmond Bread Riot of 1863 and the ongoing protests against police brutality\, we hear the voice of people who suffer from inequitable systems – in 1863\, it was food distribution and inflation; now\, it is systemic racism in the law enforcement and criminal justice system. Though not the same\, placing the two protests side-by-side suggests enduring questions about protesting in America. Why are people compelled to do it? What happens when those in authority do not listen to the cries of their citizens? Is there a legitimate or illegitimate way to protest? What kind of solutions can protestors force authorities to concede\, if any? Join us in thinking about these questions in this virtual exhibit.
