Three videos from the 1816 Farmington Quaker Meetinghouse’s program series “Struggle for Women’s Suffrage: Politics and Race” are now available for viewing on YouTube. The most recent “Frances Ellen Watkins Harper: Poet, Activist, Reformer,” is presented by Marcia Robinson, Asst. Professor of Religion, Syracuse University. Harper was an influential abolitionist, suffragist, poet, lecturer, and reformer who co-founded the National Association of Colored Women’s Clubs. She was a household name in the nineteenth century. Born free in Baltimore, she was one of the first African American women to be published in the United States.
