At 7:00 pm on October 17 Jeanne Gehret will again be the guest presenter at the Fairport Museum (18 Perrin Street). Her program, “All for Suffrage: The Anthony Family Takes a Stand,” details how Susan B. Anthony’s whole family put themselves on the line to promote equality for women and African-Americans. Though rooted in the Quaker values of nonviolence and frugality, Susan’s relatives included soldiers, radical publishers, and people of privilege. One of her brothers fought with John Brown; her dying sister voted illegally with Susan; and another brother killed, burned, and pillaged in the name of antislavery. Gehret traces their comings and goings across early America, from Martha’s Vineyard to the Kansas frontier. Her riveting 60-minute program includes a PowerPoint presentation with archival photographs. In July Jeanne Gehret filled the rooms in Fairport and Pittsford when she re-enacted Miss Susan B. Anthony at events honoring the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in New York State. She is the author of the 2017 historical novel about Susan's brother, The Truth About Daniel ($15), and the recently-updated children’s biography, Susan B. Anthony And Justice For All ($10), both of which will be available for sale (cash or checks accepted) and signing following the presentation and then afterward in the Museum’s Gift Shop. This program is free and open to the public. Find more information at: www.perintonhistoricalsociety.org.
