Susan B. Anthony Brings the National Suffrage Movement to Grand Rapids

Susan B. Anthony had visited West Michigan many times between 1873 and 1899. But her last appearance was probably at the 1899 National American Woman Suffrage Association’s annual convention in Grand Rapids, the only time the NAWSA ever met in Michigan. Melissa Fox from the Greater Grand Rapids Women’s History Council  will consider what brought Susan B. Anthony to Grand Rapids, what other well-known suffragists (both local and national) joined her, the excitement in and around the annual convention, and how West Michigan came to host it.

Note: This is a free event and no ticket is required.  Just show up and enjoy!
