What's new at the Mu? Lunch event focuses on Lucretia Mott
Women in History's Linda Witkowski, a living history actor from Lakewood, will portray national women's suffrage leader Lucretia Mott at the Massillon Museum's Brown Bag Lunch at 12:10 p.m. March 25. A native of Nantucket, Massachusetts, Mott spoke in 1847 at a Massillon women's rights assembly when she visited relatives in Kendal, which is now part of northeast Massillon. The program will conclude about 12:50 p.m. to accommodate guests who attend during their lunch hours. The event is free and open to everyone. No reservations are required. ASL interpretation is provided at all lectures in this series, part of MassMu's ongoing efforts to be accessible to all. Mott, who lived from 1793 to 1880, was a social reformer who focused on abolition and feminist activism. She exemplified her Quaker religion belief in equality for all people. With several national women's advocates, she helped organize the landmark 1848 Seneca Falls Convention, where delegates penned the Declaration of Sentiments, based on the Declaration of Independence, demanding civil and political rights for women. Guests may bring lunch. MassMu provides complimentary cookies and coffee. Galleries will be open before and after the Brown Bag Lunch.
