Centennial of Women’s Suffrage
Perhaps in this Centennial Year,
A woman or two in the White House
Might be just the ticket!
Some Powerful Women in the Capitol
Mother Joseph and her legacy
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Susan B. Anthony
Rosa Parks and Frances Willard
Walk Down the Mall to the Capitol
Someone’s sleeping spot near the shuttered WH Visitor Center
In the fenced off park.
A Visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave
It was not too accessible—it has its own border walls.

It was his 20th year doing this.
Afternoon and Early Eve with the Cardinal
Gospel Music, a great homily, and a profoundly effective opening talk.
