Has anyone done a public event for "Reading Frederick Douglass Together"? I just need to figure out which version is the best one to use with library patrons and for length of time. 🗃️📚

Charlotte Perkins Gilman
On this day in 1909, NYC women marched in what was reportedly the first Women’s Day celebration in the US. Charlotte Perkins Gilman said: “a woman’s duty is centered in her home & motherhood…[but] home should mean the whole country & not be confined to 3 or 4 rooms or a city or a state.” #WeTheMen
At our next meeting the #SalemMA School Committee will vote to name our newly configured elementary school the Sarah Parker Remond Elementary School.
It will be the first school in Salem named for a woman and the first for a person of color.
