Day #8. I actually wondered if I could fit daily blogging until November 15th (the “Night of Terror”) into my busy schedule. It’s amazing what’s possible and this project is worth the extra time. Join the group of suffrage pickets by listening to this third podcast as they arrive at the Occoquan Workhousein 1917, from the perspective of Mrs. Nolan from Florida.

The suffrage prisoners insisted on being treated as political prisoners. The podcasts feature actual testimony from the accounts of the suffragists who experienced the “Night of Terror” at the Occoquan Workhouse.  Get a feel for what happened with this special audio series. The history of the National Woman’s Party and the Woodrow Wilson administration is featured in these eight audio podcasts.

The election is over. I’ve been blogging for seven days now in honor of the “Night of Terror” observance on November 15th, a partnership between Turning Point Suffragist Memorial Association and Suffrage Wagon News Channel. The goal is to fund and build a suffragist memorial on or before the 2020 suffrage centennial.
