SUMMARY:This Sacred Soil
DESCRIPTION:In this 250th anniversary year, return to 1776 when New Jersey drew up a surprising constitution. This founding document, alone among the 13 colonial constitutions, allowed “all inhabitants” of the colony to vote, opening the door for some women and free Black persons to vote. And they did! We have the voting rolls to prove it. Meet these suffrage pioneers who went to the polls for 31 years, until they were disenfranchised in 1807.\nThe women of New Jersey and the other 12 colonies did everything they could to aid the Patriot cause in the American Revolution, even  women who had just been told they had no voice in our developing nation. Meet some of these brave and selfless women whose heroic acts helped the Patriots win the war. Yet when the Constitution was drawn up in 1787, women were not rewarded for their patriotism with a citizen’s right to vote, setting the stage for the eventual women’s suffrage movement.\nJoin us for this illustrated talk at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 31, at the East Amwell Museum, 1053 Old York Road, Ringoes, NJ 08551. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the museum at 908-237-3303.\n
