Suffrage Outside!
Open for Visitors
|
|
“Suffrage Outside” celebrates the 100th Anniversary of Women's Suffrage in an all-outside, socially distanced garden exhibition. Come learn about how women’s work outside the home, outside in the streets, outside the United States, as well as the work and leadership of Black women kept outside the ‘mainstream,’ collectively propelled the American women’s suffrage campaign to victory in 1920 after more than 70 years of struggle.

|
The exhibition is the only all outdoor, newly designed museum exhibition in DC, and is getting extraordinary news coverage! Read about it in the nationally circulated publication Saving Places or watch the television coverage on the WUSA9 morning show.
