Port Au Prince Lane Surprise, AZ 85388 623-444-5712 [email protected] FADE IN: INT. ROCHESTER HOUSE - SUSAN’S BEDROOM - NIGHT A WOMAN blows out a candle. TICKING CLOCKS are coming from every direction. The HOUR HAND MOVES from the eleven slot to the twelve. The second hand moves in succession. The CLOCKS STOP working. On the wall with the flicker of the moon is “The Declaration of Sentiments”. Highlighted within the document are the words “All men and women are created equal”. A DRIP OF WATER comes from the outside window as it runs down. The WATER DROPLETS now create PUDDLES on the window sill as it SPLASHES and FLOWS just enough onto the floor. In the mirror reflects a bed, floor and wash stand. Peering deeper into the mirror an outline of a person appears. In the mirror looking back is SUSAN B. ANTHONY (89). INSERT ON SCREEN: WOMAN NARRATING “Something Left Undone” By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Labor with what zeal we will. Something still remains undone. Something uncompleted still. Waits the rising of the sun. By the bedside, on the stair, At the threshold, near the gates, with its menace or its prayer, Like a medicant it waits; Waits, and will not go away; Waits, and will not be gainsaid, By the curves of yesterday Even to-day is heavier made; Till at length the burden seems. Greater than our strength can bear. (MORE) 3 WOMAN NARRATING (cont'd) Heavy as the weight of our dreams, Pressing on us everywhere. And we stand from day to day, Like the dwarfs of times gone by, Who as Northern legends say, On their shoulders held the sky. MONTAGE SEQUENCE with the poem being read: 1.) A woman serving a man food, doing his laundry & dishes. 2.) A woman taking care of seven children, all very young. 3.) A woman getting raped and beaten by her husband. 4.) A woman getting her property taken away from her. 5.) A woman handing over her pay to her husband after a hard days labor. 6.)

HALL - PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES - NIGHT INSERT ON SCREEN: Presidential Candidate Debate The Presidential Candidate Debate is going on. TWO WOMEN stand at their podiums. JIM LEHER is sitting at the desk in the middle as Moderator. MADAME NORA JOHNSTON (54) Democratic Presidential Candidate and Secretary of State, wearing a blue pants suit and an American flag pin, pink pin and a red pin on the collar. GOVERNOR ELIZA TEFT (43) Republican Presidential Candidate and Governor of South Carolina, wearing red suit pants with a white shirt and an American flag pin with a pink pin. JIM LEHRER Today we have Secretary of State Nora Johnston, and Governor Eliza Teft of South Carolina who are the chosen Presidential Candidates. Welcome Ladies. Tonight’s question that we start off on is on Education. Does the federal government have a responsibility to public education of America? You both have one minute to respond. Being that Secretary of State Johnston won the coin toss, you can go first. NORA JOHNSTON I first like to thank you for that question, Jim and thank you to Governor Teft for being here. As the future President of the United States of America I feel it is our responsibility for all citizens of this country as well as the government state and federal to ensure the education of our future which is the children. As a mother of two grown children, I have put into my plan a Federal budget cuts need to be regulated to ensure that Title One and IDEA which is children with special needs as well as lower income children who have the meal programs as well as the necessary support through their schools. (MORE) 5 NORA JOHNSTON (cont'd) This will be regulated by the federal government by taking out the middle man and allowing parents to make the right choices for their children. ELIZA TEFT Thank you, Jim and Secretary of State Johnston for being here. This question holds a special place in my heart as the mother of three children myself, I know about the importance of education. And yes I agree with Secretary of State Johnston in regards to taking federal money and giving it to the parents. However, with these programs it is also our responsibility to ensure education for training people out of work by meeting with local and big corporate businesses and making sure that there is a job for the middle class to be able to provide a future for their children. Educational loans within my budget in 60 Billion dollars need to have lower interest rates than what is offered so that people can afford to pay back their college loans. JIM LEHRER Thank you Governor Teft, Secretary of State Johnston would you like to respond? NORA JOHNSTON Yes I would Jim. In order for the federal government to make the necessary cuts in funding for federal loans within a college education, it has to come from state budget cuts as well as cuts from the federal budget that are unnecessary with the help of alternative fuels and taking back the power shift of where the money goes in the world. We can place the needs of the people for education where it belongs...with the people. (MORE) 6 NORA JOHNSTON (cont'd) By allowing a person to make their own choices with their future careers will make for a happier workplace and home environment for all concerned. Not government programs that will get them a job that they don’t want. The AUDIENCE APPLAUDS. EXT. LAKE - DAY A WOMAN sits out in a rowboat with oars and a bucket. She is gliding in the river holding an open parasol over her head. Painted on the side of the boat: “Compass of Life”. INT. CADY MANSION - ELIZABETH’S BEDROOM - NIGHT INSERT ON SCREEN: Johnstown, New York - 1824 ELIZABETH CADY STANTON “Lizzy” (9) brown curls and big blue eyes, gets up and pulls out the knife from under her pillow and gets up. She goes downstairs, and quietly slips out the door. EXT. JOHNSTOWN, NY (WEST MAIN & NORTH MARKET STREET) - NIGHT She runs down the block. A BARKING DOG startles her, and she turns around quickly to see if anyone is following her. She looks around the area. It is a park-like setting near the water. A huge oak tree stands before her. ELIZABETH There’s no noose. How can I protect that slave from being hung tomorrow? She goes up to the tree and slams it with her fists. Yellow worms are dangling down in front of her. ELIZABETH I wish I could cut you down. Elizabeth runs back down the street towards home in tears. Every tree seems to have yellow worms dangling from them. Elizabeth silently SCREAMS as she swats them away. 7 EXT. PARK - DAY There is a CROWD OF PEOPLE gathered around. An AFRICAN AMERICAN MALE (23) has a noose around his neck. Suddenly the floor board is released. The body bounces down as the people turn away and then look at the dead man. INT. LAW OFFICE - DAY INSERT ON SCREEN: Johnstown, NY - 1826 JUDGE DANIEL CADY (53) is sitting in his office with his client. FLORA CAMPBELL (54) is sitting there with a tear stained handkerchief. Elizabeth (11) is sitting there listening. FLORA Judge Cady, my husband has died and my stepson has taken over the farm. He has now decided to kick me off my family farm. JUDGE CADY I am sorry, Flora, there is nothing that I can do in the eyes of the law. Flora takes out another handkerchief from her purse. FLORA Why can’t I have my farm back? JUDGE CADY The law plainly states that a woman’s property becomes her husband’s or the oldest heir male. FLORA It’s not fair. She wipes the tears away from her eyes with a cloth napkin. JUDGE CADY As long as I live, Flora, I’ll not allow you or your children to want. I’ll put you on one of my very best farms. You can have all you make from it and stay there as long as you live. 8 FLORA I thank you for the offer, Judge Cady, but I want my own farm back. Flora takes her purse, and runs out of the office crying. Elizabeth runs after her. ELIZABETH Flora, I have marked all the unjust laws against women in my father’s law books.

  • Elizabeth Cady Stanton Early Life Born Elizabeth Cady 1815-1902 7Th
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton Early Life Born Elizabeth Cady 1815-1902 7th child born to Judge Daniel Cady and Margaret Livingston in Johnstown, NY Elizabeth’s mother was 16 when she married Daniel Cady. She was 12 years younger and several inches taller than he was. She was also a formidable, strong woman. Daniel Cady had “married up.” He came to his position because of his wife’s family’s wealth. He became a lawyer and then a judge. He was a strict Presbyterian who worried about his salvation. The couple had a total of 11 children, 5 boys and 6 girls. Six died before adulthood, and no more than 6 were alive at one time. In 1814 two of their sons died. Of Cady’s five sons, four died in childhood. One survived to adulthood, graduated from college, then died after a short illness at age 20. Daniel Cady was devastated. From In Her Own Right: The Life of Elizabeth Cady Stanton by Elisabeth Griffith: “Only Eleazar reached manhood. As Elizabeth recalled, her brother was ‘a fine manly fellow, the very apple of my father’s eye.’ He graduated from Union College in 1826. A few weeks later, after a short illness, he died. He was twenty years old. The whole family was stunned. Judge Cady, who had been away from home, returned to find Eleazar dead. Heartbroken at the loss of his last son, the grief-stricken father kept an uninterrupted vigil by the casket. After the funeral he made daily, tearful visits to the grave. ‘It was easily seen,’ Elizabeth wrote later, ‘that while my father was kind to us all, the one son filled a larger place in his affections and future plans than the five daughters together.’ Not yet eleven years old when her only brother died, Elizabeth remembered the event vividly.

  • The Women's Suffrage Movement
    Name _________________________________________ Date __________________ The Women’s Suffrage Movement Part 1 The Women’s Suffrage Movement began with the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848. The idea for the Convention came from two women: Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. Both were concerned about women’s issues of the time, specifically the fact that women did not have the right to vote. Stanton felt that this was unfair. She insisted that women needed the power to make laws, in order to secure other rights that were important to women. The Convention was designed around a document that Stanton wrote, called the “Declaration of Sentiments”. Using the Declaration of Independence as her guide, she listed eighteen usurpations, or misuses of power, on the part of men, against women. Stanton also wrote eleven resolutions, or opinions, put forth to be voted on by the attendees of the Convention. About three hundred people came to the Convention, including forty men. All of the resolutions were eventually passed, including the 9th one, which called for women’s suffrage, or the right for women to vote. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott signed the Seneca Falls Declaration and started the Suffrage Movement that would last until 1920, when women were finally granted the right to vote by the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. 1.

  • Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elizabeth Cady Stanton Was an American Suffragist, Social Activist, Abolitionist and an Early Leader in the Movement for Women’S Rights
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elizabeth Cady Stanton was an American Suffragist, social activist, abolitionist and an early leader in the movement for women’s rights. Many give her credit for beginning the women’s right movement when she presented her Declaration of Sentiments at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848. She served as president of the National Woman Suffrage Association for eight years, 1892-1890. Elizabeth was number eight in what would have been a large family of eleven children except that five of the children died in infancy or early childhood. An older brother, Eleazar died at age 20, shortly before he was to graduate from college. Only Elizabeth and four sisters lived well into adulthood. Elizabeth would name her two daughters after Margaret and Harriot, two of her sisters. She was born on November 12, 1815, in Johnstown, New York to Daniel and Margaret Livingston Cady. Her father was a prominent Federalist attorney who served one term in the U.S. Congress. Her mother fell into depression over the loss of so many of her children which left Elizabeth with a maternal void in her childhood. Many of the responsibilities of raising Elizabeth fell to her sister Tryphena, who was eleven years older. It was not until July 4, 1827 that slavery would become illegal in the state of New York and her father was a slave owner like many New York men. Elizabeth mentioned Peter Teabout many times in her writing, but never referred to him as a slave. It was not owning at least one slave that turned her into a devout abolitionist, but a visit as a young woman with her cousin, Gerrit Smith, in Peterboro, New York.

  • The Underground Railroad in Seneca Falls, NY
    Table of Contents Pages Topic 2-7 Some Basic Information 8-19 Seneca Falls Sites 20-26 Waterloo Sites 27-29 Some Early Settlers who brought slaves with them when they settled in Seneca County 30-33 African-American Families on Seneca Street in Ovid 32 34- Possible Underground Railroad “Stations” in the Ovid- Romulus-Varick Area 1 Part One: Some Basic Information Introduction In a discussion of the pre-Civil War history and blacks the terms “abolition,” “anti-slavery,” and “Underground Railroad” are frequently used. There are two different meanings of the term “Underground Railroad.” In its narrow meaning, it refers to the efforts of enslaved African Americans to gain their freedom by escaping bondage. For years these escaping “slaves” were called “fugitive slaves.” Today we use the more “politically correct” term “freedom seeker” to refer to them. In its broadest meaning, “Underground Railroad” refers to any kind of anti-slavery activity—not just directly helping a particular freedom seeker in some specific way escape to freedom. This article will use “Underground Railroad” in its broadest meaning, so that the terms “abolition,” “anti-slavery,” and “Underground Railroad” have basically the same meaning. The term “Underground Railroad” in its narrow meaning was neither “underground” nor a “railroad” but rather a loosely-constructed network of escape routes that originated in the Upper South, intertwined throughout the North, and eventually ended in Canada. It also included escape routes from the Deep South into the western U.S. territories, Mexico and the Caribbean. Most “freedom seekers” began their journey unaided, either alone or in small groups.

  • The Marriage of Elizabeth Cady and Henry Brewster Stanton and the Devel
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles A Family Affair: The Marriage of Elizabeth Cady and Henry Brewster Stanton and the Development of Reform Politics A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Linda Christine Frank 2012 © Copyright by Linda Christine Frank 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Family Affair: The Marriage of Elizabeth Cady and Henry Brewster Stanton and the Development of Reform Politics by Linda Christine Frank Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Ellen C. DuBois, Chair Although devoted to insuring universal freedom and human rights for more than 60 years, Henry B. Stanton’s historical legacy and his many contributions to antebellum reform have been obscured and even vilified in the shadows of his famous wife, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and his oftentimes tactical opponent within abolition circles, William Lloyd Garrison. Frequently portrayed as the antagonist in his wife’s struggle for women’s rights, as a husband and a father Henry Stanton has become synonymous in the historical discourse with the very oppression his wife devoted her life to ending. Because of this, Elizabeth’s reformism is frequently depicted as having emerged from an imagined unhappy domestic life, rather than from an awareness of social and political inequalities. Elizabeth’s feminism is thus all too frequently explicitly or implicitly viewed as first a private and then a public rebellion. ii Through extensive primary source research, this dissertation seeks to redefine the pivotal moments in the Cady-Stanton marriage to better understand the many reasons, causes, and inspirations that led to Elizabeth Stanton’s leadership of the Seneca Falls Convention in particular and the woman suffrage movement in general.

  • “Women's Suffrage: the Long Journey to the Vote” Part 3, the Leading Ladies
    “Women's Suffrage: The Long Journey to the Vote” Part 3, The Leading Ladies In 1848, a group of mostly women gathered in Seneca Falls, New York to discuss the problem of women's rights. They were invited there by reformers Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was born November 12, 1815, in Johnstown, New York. She was a leading figure in women's rights movement. She prepared and presented the “Declaration of Sentiments” at the Seneca Falls Convention and is credited with initiating the first efforts for women's suffrage. Her husband, Henry Brewster Stanton, was the co-founder of the Republican Party. Lucretia Mott was born January 3, 1793 in Nantucket, Massachusetts. She was a Quaker and women's rights activist. Mott helped write the Declaration of Sentiments. She was a Quaker preacher and used her impressive speaking abilities advocating for aboliton and the suffrage movement. Of the attendees at the Seneca Falls Convention, most agreed: American women deserved their own political identities, believing women should have the right to vote. During the process to pass the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution (guaranteeing black males the right to vote), some women's suffrage advocates believed this was an opportunity to push for women's suffrage. Stanton and Susan B. Anthony was were women who believed this was a chance to push for universal suffrage. As a result they refused to support the 15th Amendment. They became part of a faction called the National Woman Suffrage Association founded by Lucy Stone. They began to fight for a universal-suffrage amendment to the Constitution.
