~~Ms. Crum, a women that worked at the National Women's Party Headquarters came and enhanced the information that we knew about Alice Paul. on October 20th Ms. Crum Stood in front of our 3 & 4th A-day class and told us more about the fascinating history about Alice Paul, the women our class is named after. The presentation was interesting and I enjoyed listening to her and asking questions.
~~During Ms.Crum's presentation we couldn't help but learn a lot about not only Alice Paul, but what she stood for and what she believed in. We learned that Alice Paul was born into a wealthy Quaker family, but was very humble about it. Paul was a very intelligent woman, receiving a B.A., a Masters degree, and a PhD. Alice Paul fought for sufferage, the right for women to vote. Paul was also a social worker, helping families where the mother was the head of the house hold, single mothers. Paul used her experience that she learned in London to protest while in America and used the methods she learned from Pankhurst to also stand up for not only herself but for women everywhere.
~~Alice Paul is a great name for our class because she is a role model to all, not only women. Paul's story tells that every one, man, woman and child are equal. Equality is a very good standard to live by. We think it is great that a piece of history like the Sewall- Belmont house is so close to not only the capital and to Congress but also to our school. One Feature about the house we both learned and found interesting was the stairs from the jail on the side of the building.
Nice blog!
