In early 1917, Alice Paul upped the ante. Suffragists began stationing themselves daily in front of the White House gates - through Wilson's second inauguration and after the US entered WWI.

Reva Beck Bosone had a long, successful career of supporting and inspiring women, and dismantling previously held ideas of what a woman couldn’t accomplish. Thank you to Emily from @MathesonJrHigh for helping us highlight Reva!

Today's #LetterheadOfTheWeek comes from a dealer in musical merchandise and sewing machines in Ogden, UT. Written in 1884, it’s an appeal to the Gov to grant clemency to a robber. Mr. Wardleigh changed his mind from thinking the man was a criminal to believing he was the victim!

"[Black] Women’s clubs... [force] women at the front of the suffrage issue to confess their sins. [I]t’s an act of disruption, as well as a challenge to organizations that had been poised to ignore Black women." — @DrMChatelain #TheVotePBS

A continuation of Hill AFB's 80th anniversary series | The Ogden ALC benefited from the military buildup, especially from 1980-1985. Procurement of aircraft spares, equipment, and supplies illustrates the budget increase more clearly than any other factor. https://t.co/mWEn2SIidL
