2020 Convention Honoring History - Making Herstory Celebrating and Strategizing June 14 2020 1 pm CDT/2 pm EDT 1920—2020 TFDW Call to Convention 2020 Page 2 Welcome! Dear Federation Members, I, Mary Linden Salter, President of the Tennessee Federation of Democratic Women, pursuant to Article VI, Section 5 and Article VII, Section 1, issue the 64th Annual Call to Conven- tion. I am so very pleased with all the work of the east Ten- nessee chapters including PROWD, the Greater Chattanooga Democratic Women and Anderson County Democratic Women who came together to work to make this the intended convention so meaningful for all of us. I want to thank in particular to Pamela Weston, East TN Vice President and Laurie McNeece, Recording Secretary - both PROWD chapter members who orga- nized the planning by PROWD and our east Tennessee chapters. I am very hopeful that we can honor their work by convening the Fall Board meeting or some other event in Athens, TN and touring the Niota, TN area as planned for this convention. I also hope that the opportunity to make a tribute to the impact of Febb and Harry Burn’s contributions to winning our right to vote will inspire all of us all to at- tend in the Fall as we consider support for the ERA and other initiatives to address human rights. It is my privilege and pleasure to welcome you to our convention this year as we mark the 100th anniversary of the constitutional amendment granting women the right to vote. We can take great pride in the accomplishments of many women pioneers for suffrage while acknowledging that we have many battles still to win today. I know as a proud Democrat, we must take every opportunity to acknowledge the contributions to our country of every man and eve- ry woman, no matter their background or status. This is a county founded on opportunity for all. We edge closer to that reality every day thanks to all our efforts. Please use this call to convention as a tool to help shape the efforts of your chapter, to bring your exper- tise to our discussions of ,support for candidates, our finances and our purpose. We will be acknowledg- ing the past in our tributes at this meeting and others this year — but we will also be shaping our fu- ture. I am confident that you will find inspiration in the works of other chapters around the state, our young scholarship winners and in the commitment each of our new officers makes to our organization. I am proud to work with each of you and to acknowledge the work that each chapter and each member gives to this organization and to our work to elect Democrats—especially women Democrats. Thank you for attending our virtual Convention - we will have a great time as always and it promises to be an event to remember.

By that summer, 35 of the 36 states necessary had ratified the amendment. Eight states had rejected the amendment, and five had not voted. Suffragists saw Tennessee as their last, best hope for ratification before the 1920 presidential election. Governor Albert H. Roberts called a special session of the General Assembly on August 9 to consider the issue. Pro-suffrage and anti-suffrage activists from around the state and the country descended on Nashville, intent on influencing the legislature. Tennessee women played a vital role in rallying support for the 19th Amendment. Ann Dallas Dudley of Nashville, Abby Crawford Milton of Chattanooga, and Sue Shelton White of Jackson were prominent among those who fought to gain popular and legislative support for women’s suffrage. Among the na- tional suffrage leaders in Nashville that summer was Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. The anti-suffrage movement also counted numerous Tennessee women among its leaders, including Josephine A. Pearson, a Monteagle, TN educator who was president of the Tennessee State Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage and the Southern Woman’s League for the Rejection of the Susan B. Anthony Amendment. Each of these women is represented on the Suffrage monument. The summer of 1920 was one of intense pro- and anti-suffrage activity in Nashville. After the resolution passed easily in the Tennessee State Senate, both sides lobbied furiously to secure votes in the state House of Representatives where the vote was extremely close. When young Harry T. Burn of Niota changed his vote to support ratification, he broke a tie in the House of Representatives and made history. The Tennessee General Assembly voted to approve the 19th Amendment to the United State Constitution on August 18, 1920. Opponents worked feverishly to rescind the ratification vote on constitutional techni- calities. Some anti-suffrage legislators even fled the state in an attempt to prevent a quorum in the Gen- eral Assembly. Their efforts failed, and on August 24, 1920, Governor Albert H. Roberts certified Tennes- see’s ratification of the 19th Amendment. Two days later, U. S. Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby issued a proclamation that officially declared the ratifica- tion of the 19th Amendment and made it part of the United States Constitution. Tennessee provid- ed the 36th and final state needed to ratify this landmark amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

    The Parthenon: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

    The Parthenon: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow The Parthenon: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow Luke Howard Judkins Abstract One of the world’s most beautiful and iconic structures, the Parthenon, the temple of the Virgin goddess Athena, boldly displays the culmination of culture and civilization upon the Acropolis in Athens, Greece and in Centennial Park in Nashville, Tennessee. I have attempted to research the history, architecture, and sculpture of the magnificent marble edifice by analyzing the key themes and elements that compose the great work: culture, civilization, and rebirth. Using a musical sonata form to display my research, I wished to convey a digestible analysis of how the Parthenon and its connotations transcend time through rebirth in Nashville, Tennessee. Known as the “Athens of the South,” Nashville continues the culture displayed in Ancient Greece and symbolizes this through the city’s scale replication of the Parthenon within Centennial Park. In the first century A.D., Plutarch wrote Greek history so that the Greeks could recall the history that was gradually fading from their memories. As Plutarch did with his readers, I am attempting to re-educate Nashvillians, as well as the world, about the rich history and inheritance of the Athenian culture within ourselves. Middle Tennessee State University 71 Scientia et Humanitas: A Journal of Student Research Introduction n various ways, every world civilization has attempted to explore Iand improve the quality of life, promote communal well-being, and further the education and the creative abilities of its people. One of the most successful civilizations in these endeavors was that of the ancient Greeks.

  • 27 Fast Facts About the 19Th Amendment Breanna Mccann

    27 Fast Facts About the 19th Amendment Breanna McCann The Amendment 1. The 19th Amendment does not directly mention women. Instead, it says: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” 2. The 19th Amendment was officially added to the United States constitution on August 26, 1920. 3. The 19th Amendment is also called the Anthony Amendment, named for Susan B. Anthony. 4. The first attempt at a universal suffrage amendment in Congress came in 1868, but gained no traction. The next attempt came in 1878 from California Senator Aaron A. Sargent, who introduced a bill drafted by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stan- ton. While his bill was rejected, it was introduced every year for the following forty- one years. Eventually, in 1919, Congress approved the exact text of Sargent’s original bill and it was ratified by three-fourths of states in 1920. 5. President Woodrow Wilson tried to pass a national suffrage act in 1918 in the midst of World War I. He endorsed what would later become the 19th Amendment, and one day after doing so, the House passed the measure. Wilson addressed the Senate personally, appealing to the fact that women were also actively participating in the war effort, but it failed in the Senate by two votes. A few months later, Congress attempted to pass the act again, but failed by one vote in the Senate. Early Voting Rights 6. Unmarried women were allowed to vote in New Jersey from 1797 to 1807.

If the Tennessee legislature approved the 19th amendment it would be ratified, giving all American women the right to vote. The historic moment came down to a single vote and the voter who tipped the scale toward equality did so because of a powerful letter his mother, Febb Burn, had written him urging him to "Vote for suffrage and don't forget to be a good boy." The Voice That Won the Vote is the story of Febb, her son Harry, and the letter that gave all American women a voice. Historical Background In August of 1920, the eyes of the nation were on Tennessee as the state legislature prepared to vote on the ratification of the 19th Amendment, also called the “Susan B. Anthony Amendment.” Thirty-five states had already voted in favor of the amendment, and Tennessee could potentially become the “Perfect 36” – the final state needed for ratification. The amendment sailed through the Senate, but the House of Representatives first voted to table the vote--a motion that, if passed, would delay, or even halt, the decision on the proposed amendment. The representatives, who had been lobbied by both the pro- and anti- suffrage factions, were closely split, and it was only the tying vote by Banks Turner of Gibson County that prevented the amendment from being tabled and cast aside.

The ballet was created specifically for middle and high school students. Through dance, music, and just a few spoken word moments, 72 Steps ballet takes us on a multi-year, historical journey that expresses the struggle and triumphs of many women and some men who fought for and against ratification. Performed by Nashville Ballet 2 dancers, many of whom have just reached voting age, the performance is designed to spark a dialogue about past and modern- day barriers to a unified and equitable society. The dance is performed by six female and two male dancers. The shedding and donning of men’s jackets – by men and women – allows performers to show, without words, how some women joined the men who fought against ratification, and how some men joined the women’s suffrage cause.
