10/5: Silent Sentinels Get Out the Vote
Saturday 10 am - noon. Modern-day Suffragists will take to the streets in the role of Silent Sentinels throughout Sacramento with “Vote” signs designed to get all Sacramentans to the polls. Dressed in suffragist colors of purple, white and gold, these women will honor the original Silent Sentinels who peacefully demonstrated in front of the White House for the right to vote in the early nineteen hundreds. From 1917 to 1919 a group of determined women stood silently with signs in protest of President Woodrow Wilson's lack of support of women’s suffrage. More info: SilentSentinels.Oct5@gmail.com
