Work was conducted pursuant to the City of Alexandria’s Archaeological Protection Code (1989) and in accordance with the City of Alexandria Archaeology Standards (Alexandria Archaeology 2007). The archaeological investigation included demolition monitoring, mechanical excavation of 12 test trenches, and hand excavation of six shovel test pits and one 3-x-3-foot test unit. The investigation resulted in recovery of 349 historic artifacts, documentation of two historic features, and identification of one historic site: 44AX0234. Site 44AX0234 is a multi-component historic site dating from the late eighteenth through mid- twentieth century. The site components are stratigraphically distinct. The late eighteenth to early nineteenth century component consists of a yard scatter identified within a truncated buried A horizon and a small soil stain (Feature 2). The mid-nineteenth through mid-twentieth century component includes a mixed yard deposit likely associated with two former dwellings in the vicinity and a demolition debris pit (Feature 1) associated with a third former nineteenth century dwelling. -

American Women's Suffrage Movement
RESOURCE GUIDE: AMERICAN WOMEN’S SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT On July 18, 1848, women and men gathered to launch the women’s suffrage movement in the United States at the Seneca Falls Convention, held in Seneca Falls, New York. This struggle would last seven decades, with women gaining the right to vote in 1920. The women’s suffrage movement, also called woman suffrage, gave women the opportunity to express themselves to the general public, which had rarely been done prior. Not all women supported women’s suffrage. Women who opposed suffrage believed that it would take them away from their families and homes, and that women would be tainted by “dirty” politics. In 1909, the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia formed to campaign for women to gain the right to vote in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Founding members included Lila Meade Valentine, who would be elected as the organization’s leader; artists Adele Clarke and Nora Houston; writers Ellen Glasgow and Mary Johnston; and physician Kate Waller Barrett. These women traveled throughout Virginia handing out literature, giving speeches, hosting suffrage teas, and lobbying men and General Assembly members to grant women the right to vote. Following the formation of the Equal Suffrage League, its members decided to become a part of the national suffrage movement by joining the National American Woman Suffrage Association. The Equal Suffrage League of Virginia and National American Woman Suffrage Association members supported the fight for women’s suffrage on a state level, while other suffrage organizations supported a constitutional amendment. While the National American Woman Suffrage Association and its affiliated groups were making progress in their individual states, some suffragists became frustrated by the slow pace of the movement. -

S. Capitol Statue Commission To: <[email protected]> To: Virginia’s U.S. Capitol Statue Commission From: David and Jane Kearney, Richmond, Virginia [email protected] Date: November 27, 2020 _____________________ In response to your request for proposals, our top three suggestions for the “second” of Virginia’s statues in the U.S Capitol’s National Statuary Hall Collection, to replace the statue of Robert E. Lee, are, in no particular order: · Abraham Lincoln · Pocahontas · Maggie Lena Walker The strengths of the foregoing three proposed candidates have been covered very well by many others. We would stress the following elements: Abraham Lincoln As researched and pointed out by Virginia’s Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Subcommittee, Abraham Lincoln had “deep Virginia roots.” The Subcommittee noted that Lincoln’s great-grandparents, grandparents, and parents lived in Virginia; his parents met, married; and lived for a time in the Shenandoah Valley; and his great-grandparents and multiple relatives are buried in Virginia in the Lincoln Cemetery at the Lincoln Family Homestead in Rockingham County.
