012-036 TBJ Text COVER STORY Votes for Women By Wanda G. Sobieski They must have felt the whole world was against them. When they arrived Tennessee in Knoxville in late 1917, they were met with the same hostility that they had met in Memphis, Nashville, and several smaller Tennessee towns. 1 The Lawyers vs. local lawyers and judges in each community had used their considerable influence to silence the former prisoners. 2 Even the weather had now the Suffragists turned against them. Their long gowns and light wraps were all that protected them from the cold, rainy November night and the swirling controversy. 3 As they walked to the Knoxville courthouse, they fully expected to be shot. 4 Nearly 70 years into the struggle, the prize was in sight but still very far Women march for the right to vote in this circa 1915 Nashville parade.

Finally, on June 20, 1917, Washington D.C. Police Commissioner Louis Brownlow (son-in- law of Tennessee Rep. Thetus Sims and husband of Sims’ suffragist daughter) issued an order to arrest and imprison them. 16 Many were confined for long periods of time without charges as government agents tried to find a crime with which to charge them. 17 The arrests and jailings continued for months, but did little to discourage the women.

  • 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.

    TEACHER’S GUIDE Center for Children’s and Young Adult Literature, UTK City of Knoxville Suffrage Seed Fund East Tennessee Historical Society Knox County Schools The Voice that Won the Vote: How One Woman’s Words Made History By Elisa Boxer Illustrated by Vivien Mildenberger Synopsis In August of 1920, women's suffrage in America came down to the vote in Tennessee. 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.
