SUMMARY:Women's History Tour with Vashti Dubois
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nIn the early part of the last century\, Historic Fair Hill was the site of a yearly pilgrimage of women. Two of the five organizers of the Seneca Falls Conference on the Rights of Women in 1848\, Lucretia Mott and Mary Anne M’Clintock\, are buried at Historic Fair Hill. Alice Paul\, one of the key figures in the struggle for the Nineteenth Amendment\, would lead a yearly pilgrimage to Mott’s grave. Women’s rights activists would gather to mark the continuity of their struggle — in the end\, only one signer of the Seneca Falls Conference would survive long enough to vote\, but the passage of the amendment was a direct result of the movement they started. \n  \nThis March\, join us as and local historians as we repeat this pilgrimage to honor the early women’s rights movement. \n  \nOur speaker this year will be Vashti Dubois of The Colored Girls Museum\, Philadelphia. We are honored to have her join us. Her work brings performance art\, visual art\, history\, and storytelling together to capture important shared history that the dominant narrative overlooks. \n  \nAbout Vashti Dubois: \n“Vashti has always balanced her passion for the arts with a calling to social justice. \n  \nLearning to read was my first political act\, and that power to navigate through real and imagined worlds informs my creative pursuit. When not lost in a book\, I am curating\, directing and producing theater events which deal with social and cultural issues. My recent work often casts the environment as a principle actor\, and incorporates multiple artists and art disciplines in that conception to render an enlivening final product. \n  \nThe Colored Girls Museum is committed to empowering women and girls from the inside out. We believe that we can dramatically improve the spiritual\, cultural\, and socioeconomic conditions of all communities by supporting women and girls at every stage of their development. \n  \nThe Colored Girls Museum is Sanctuary not for Colored Girls Only–but for anyone who is ready for a conscious revolution!”
