In this program, learn about visits to Riley County by national suffrage leaders such as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and how local leaders, including Matie Toothaker Kimball, helped organize for the right to vote. We will also discuss some of the locations in our community where suffrage activity occurred and continue to celebrate the 101st anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment.
