KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 Sept. 17, 2020 \u2013 The year 2020 marks the 100th<\/sup> anniversary of the ratification of the 19th<\/sup> Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. This came just 50 years after the ratification of the 15th<\/sup> Amendment, which granted the right to vote to African American men. As part of the commemoration of both of these milestones, the 溏心vlog免费B站 will hold a year-long series of virtual lectures, panels and discussions over the course of the 2020-2021 academic year.<\/p>\n

溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s \u201cLong Rhode to the Vote: Suffrage Centennial Lecture Series<\/a>\u201d is sponsored by the 溏心vlog免费B站 Center for the Humanities, the program in Gender and Women\u2019s Studies, 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College of Arts and Sciences, the Honors Program, the Women\u2019s Leadership Council and the Suffrage Centennial Committee. All events are free and open to the public. Registration is required.<\/p>\n

The series begins Sept. 23 at 4 p.m.<\/strong> with a virtual presentation and lecture by Kenneth Florey, professor emeritus at Southern Connecticut State University and an expert on women\u2019s suffrage memorabilia. His discussion of \u201cSuffrage Memorabilia and the Merchandising of the Movement\u201d will explain how memorabilia such as buttons, ribbons and pennants were used by those in the movement as a sort of \u201cvisual rhetoric\u201d that helped to start conversations and also convey that the movement was vast and growing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the early period of the movement, even those women who believed in various aspects of women\u2019s rights were sometimes reluctant to assert those ideas outside of the home,\u201d says Florey. \u201cMemorabilia, in part, helps to illustrate the progress and movement of women from private to public discourse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Florey has authored two books and a number of articles on memorabilia and their significance to the suffrage movement and has lectured on the topic in the United States and abroad. Florey holds one of the country\u2019s largest private collections of suffrage artifacts, consisting of postcards, buttons, ribbons, sashes, sheet music, and other objects. He has also served as an auction appraiser and cataloger of suffrage material.<\/p>\n

While, according to Florey, the golden age of suffrage memorabilia was relatively short \u2013 lasting from 1907 to 1916 \u2013 he notes that its impact is still felt and used in much the same way today.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday political campaigns and cause movements still rely on memorabilia,\u201d he said. \u201cWhile things may change eventually as a result of the digital age, for now the use of memorabilia is still going strong.\u201d<\/p>\n
