She worked as an organizer for the National American Women's Suffrage Association and became its national president in Carrie, a dynamic speaker, gave many lectures and published numerous writings in support of the suffrage cause."do You Know?" was the title of a speech she gave frequently. It was later published in pamphlet form. Her efforts in the women's rights movement culminated in the successful adoption of the 19th Amendment in Related items > DO YOU KNOW that the question of votes for women is one which is commanding the attention of the whole civilized world; that woman suffrage organizations of representative men and women exist in twenty-seven different countries; that in this country alone there are more than 1,000 woman suffrage organizations; that there is an International and a National Men's League for Woman Suffrage and numbers of local men's leagues; that the number of women who are asking for the vote in this country is larger than the number of men who have ever asked for anything in its entire history; that more and larger petitions asking for votes for women have been sent to legislative bodies than for any other one measure; that the press of this country is giving more space to woman suffrage than to any other one public question; that the legislatures of twenty-eight states this year entertained woman suffrage measures, II of them favorably; and that a bill for a woman suffrage amendment to the United States Constitution is now before Congress? DO YOU KNOW that the women of New Zealand and the women of Australia possess all the political rights accorded to men? DO YOU KNOW that the women of Finland vote in all elections upon the same terms as men, and that since the enfranchisement in 1906, from sixteen to twenty-five have been elected to the different Parliaments?

26 December 17, 1957 BACKGROUND OF LETTER Daisy Bates was born in Arkansas in She and her husband, L.C. Bates, were editors and publishers of the Arkansas State Press, a Little Rock weekly newspaper that campaigned for civil rights for blacks. Through her involvement with the desegration of Central High School, Daisy became an advisor to the "Little Rock Nine" - the first African American students to attend the school. This letter was written to Roy Wilkins, an NAACP official, on December 17, 1957, and is an example of one of her many efforts in the civil rights movement. Daisy Bates continued her fight for equal rights for blacks throughout her life and received many awards for her work. Related items > Dear Mr. Wilkins, Conditions are yet pretty rough in the school for the children. Last week, Minnie Jean's mother, Mrs. W.B. Brown, asked me to go over to the school with her for a conference with the principal, and the two assistant principals. Subject of the conference: "Firmer disciplinary measures, and the withdrawal of Minnie Jean from the glee club's Christmas program." The principal had informed Minnie Jean in withdrawing her from the program that, "When it is definitely decided that Negroes will go to school here with the whites, and the troops are removed, then you will be able to participate in all activities." We strongly challenged this statement, which he denied making in that fashion. We also pointed out that the treatment of the children had been getting steadily worse for the last two weeks in the form of kicking, spitting, and general abuse. As a result of our visit, stronger measures are being taken against the white students who are guilty of committing these offenses. For instance, a boy who had been suspended for two weeks, flunked both six-weeks tests, and on his return to school, the first day he knocked Gloria Ray into her locker. As a result of our visit, he was given an indefinite suspension. Read the rest of her letter and view a photograph of Daisy Bates with the "Little Rock Nine."

27 March 21, 1774 BACKGROUND OF LETTER Phillis Wheatley was born in Africa and brought to Boston on a slave ship in She was only 7 or 8 years old at the time and was purchased by John Wheatley. Phillis was quick to learn the English language and, without attending school, she learned how to read and write. She became interested in poetry and began to compose her own verses. In 1773, at age 19, a volume of her poems was published in London. The Wheatley family treated her more like a family member than a slave, and in this 1774 letter she describes her feelings at the death of her mistress, Mrs. Wheatley. Related items > Dear Obour, I recd. your obliging Letter, enclosed in your... Pastor's & handed me by his Son. I have lately met with a great trial in the death of my mistress, let us imagine the loss of a Parent, Sister or Brother the tenderness of all these were united in her.--i was a poor little outcast a stranger when she took me in, not only into her house but I presently became, and honor in her most tender affections, I was treated by her more like her child than her servant, no opportunity was left union proud, of giving me the best of advice, but in terms how tender? how engaging! this I hope ever to keep in remembrance. Her example by life was a greater monitor than all her precepts and Instruction thus we may observe of how much greater force example is than Instruction... I am very affectionately your Friend.
