Celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment continues. This 100 Years of the Women’s Vote Humanities for All Quick Grant supported project honors the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, highlighting historical and contemporary successes and struggles as they relate to the enfranchisement of women and marginalized groups. https://bit.ly/3hlzP2Q #women #suffrage #19thamendment Image: Banner from the 100 Years of the Women’s Vote Exhibit

Learn more about the impactful work undertaken by Gail Soffer, the Executive Director of the Mindful Veteran Project who led Into the Underworld and Back Women’s Stories of Making Their Way Back from Death and Darkness (sparked by versions of the Orpheus & Eurydice story). Supported by a Humanities for All Quick Grant, the project presented a series of workshops that invited women of all ages and backgrounds to read, view, and discuss various reinterpretations of Orpheus and Eurydice’s myth. https://bit.ly/33cjEA8 #PublicHumanities #HumanitiesforAll #Veterans Image: Courtesy of Mindful Veteran Project
