Last updated on: May 5, 2024 at 10:07 am By Shawn F. Higgins
THE SOUTH AFRICAN SITUATION. Ernest Temple Hargrove. The history of South Africa is known, roughly, to most people. It does not provide agreeable reading for those who would like to believe that Great Britain is an exception to the rule, and that she, alone among nations, can do no wrong. “Truth is the strong thing,” however, and it is best in any case to tell the truth no matter what inferences we may see fit to draw from it;...

Last updated on: April 18, 2024 at 6:50 am By Shawn F. Higgins

The smiling, white-haired pianist, who provided her piano accompaniment, seemed to confirm Alma’s claim. Alma met her husband, Adoniram Powell, at a church recital of which he was the organist.[1] Alma Webster... Read more

“The Universe Is Based Upon The Subjection Of Woman.”
Last updated on: April 18, 2024 at 7:14 am By Shawn F. Higgins
“THE UNIVERSE IS BASED ON THE SUBJECTION OF WOMAN.” The woman suffragists held their third and largest open-air meeting under less-than-desirable circumstances on January 14, 1908. An icy wind whistled relentlessly over Madison Square, yet the suffragists in charge were out at least a dozen strong, the largest turnout yet. “Sure, th’ women must want th’ vote bad, t’ spout f’r it on sthrate corners such a day.” That was the opinion of one-half the audience at the open...
