SUMMARY:Women's Suffrage Movement
DESCRIPTION:A resource developed in partnership with the Library of Congress asks\, “why did it take so long for women to get the right to vote?” Sex and gender are two different concepts. Sex refers to biological differences while gender relates to the roles and expectations culture assigns to each group. Every culture struggles with adjusting the roles of men and women to secure a just and harmonious society. Several factors like religion\, science\, tradition and technology influence gender roles. By tradition\, men had near exclusive domination of politics in the United States\, but that began to change in the 19th century with increasing urbanization\, educational opportunities for women and changes in home responsibilities. \nReflect on the following questions:\nWhat attitudes about their gender and expected role in society did women need to overcome to gain the right to vote?\nWhat tactics did suffragists use to convince society they deserved the right to vote?\nWhat impact did the 19th Amendment have on women and their government?

SUMMARY:Visit Freedom House Museum in Alexandria\, Virginia
DESCRIPTION:Visit the newly reopened Freedom House Museum at 1315 Duke Street. This site is what remains of a large complex dedicated to trafficking thousands of Black men\, women\, and children from 1828 – 1861. This Museum honors the lives and experiences of the enslaved and free Black people who lived in and were trafficked through Alexandria\, Virginia and now includes three floors of powerful exhibits that showcase Alexandria’s Black history and the Black experience in America. Slavery\, race-based laws\, and racial terror erased and diminished African American history and contributions from the national narrative; however\, this Museum seeks to reframe white supremacist history. The Museum is open Thursdays and Fridays 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.\, Saturdays 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.\, and Sundays and Mondays 1 – 5 p.m.
