This past week, I attended a play, Ladies Taking Liberty, at the Athens Theatre.
The play was written and directed by Deb McShane and produced by Suze Peace. It is the story of the women who won the right to vote.
One of the earliest suffragists, who was born in the 1800s, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, wrote, “The goal of equality shoots through time like an arrow.”
Imagine, that was written more than 100 years ago!
The beautiful portrayal of these Black and white sisters brought me to tears and moved me in such a way that I was left asking myself what am I doing to help our nation, and how long must this fight for equality go on?
Many, many thanks to everyone in the production of Ladies Taking Liberty for such a moving piece of art and history.
