Oregon suffrage centennial sash, plus news from Arizona and Kansas

Posted on June 25, 2012 | 6 Comments

Oregon’s suffrage centennial has some novel programs, such as the traveling sash that’s photographed as it moves around the state (called “Follow the Sash”). A sash is available for $15 from the Oregon Women’s History Consortium. The centennial web site, “Century of Action,” has historical documents, essays, news, events, and suffrage history.

Wish we could get my two daughters to subscribe to this blog. All they want to do is Facebook and cell phone. We tell them they can do both, but what can parents do?

It’s a rare find when aggregated news is mixed with personal stories. I get an idea of what’s going on now and what it means compared to back then.

I’ve ordered a sash for my wife’s August 26th equality day party she’s having by inviting a few friends over. I’ll be there too. Kind of like standing in for Grandfather Wilmer. I’ll let you know how it goes.
