First Parish, 20 Lexington Rd., Concord

Suggested Donation: $20, refreshments will be served

Concord Women’s Chorus member and performer Diane Taraz traces the long and winding road to the 19th Amendment, ratified in 1920.  Efforts to win this essential right began as the United States was forming, lasting throughout the 1800s, becoming entangled with the fight to abolish enslavement.  An amendment was finally proposed in 1878, but it took 41 years to become law.  The details are fascinating, the music lively and compelling, please join us for a wonderful afternoon of historical entertainment.
