Vickie Washington presents the intriguing history of strong and determined Black women - then & now - in their fight for equity in America. The Friends of Aldredge House invite you for a very special presentation and living history tour, celebrating the centennial of the 19th Amendment and Dallas history! It's been 100+ years since women finally won their 65-year fight for their right to vote! Yet, many women still faced roadblocks to the polls, and many still fight for equity today! Join us for the intriguing, and one-time presentation of "Not all the Women: Celebrating the Women Excluded" by Vickie Washington, acclaimed theater director, actor, artist, educator, and community activist. Joan Ripley with the Dallas League of Women Voters will provide an interesting introduction of Dallas history leading up to and during the fight for the vote! Following the presentation, you'll enjoy the Living History performance of "The Writer & the Rancher" by playwright Isabella Ides and direction by Susan Sargeant. Actors in full and glorious period costumes will guide you through historic Aldredge House and tell the story of the strong-willed women and enterprising men who first lived there and made their mark in the young, developing town of Dallas, Texas, circa 1919. DON'T MISS IT !
