Historical Reenactment of Susan B. Anthony by Sheryl Faye Presents

On August 26th professional actress, Sheryl Faye, is teaming up with the Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum in Adams, MA to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the passing of the 19th Amendment. The museum will present Faye’s historical reenactment entitled Susan B. Anthony – Failure is Impossible. This 45-minute, pre-recorded, virtual show will be available from 1-7 p.m. at http://www.susanbanthonybirthplace.com.

“We at the Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum are delighted by Sheryl Faye’s generosity in providing her Susan B. Anthony program free of charge for the education and enjoyment of our museum community,” says Museum Executive Director, Cassandra Peltier. “All of us living in 2020 have an amazing resource that the suffragists did not: the internet! Thanks to virtual networks we can commemorate the histories of activism exemplified by people like Susan B. Anthony who shaped this country and changed U.S. laws for the better.”

“It’s a huge honor for me to be able to share this timely performance with the public,” says Faye. “Susan B. Anthony was a women’s rights activist, and she devoted her life to racial, gender, and educational equality. It’s an important time, especially during an election year, to reflect how so many individuals worked so hard for women to have the vote.”
 
Peltier adds, “Susan B. Anthony worked for over 50 years to earn women the right to vote. Even though she did not see the passage of the 19th Amendment, she never wavered in her determination. She knew the day would come when her dream - and the dreams of countless women - would come to fruition, and women would have the power to change and enact the laws which impacted their daily lives. Susan B. Anthony’s story of hard work, intellect, and perseverance is exactly the kind of inspiration we need today.”

This is a free event. 100% of donations made will benefit the Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum.
