Our Remember the Ladies History Roundtable was a great success with our own Senator Spilka and Representative Richardson as well as many other locally elected women in attendance.
Selectwoman Ginger Esty received a General Court Resolution honoring the FHC’s commemoration of the 90th anniversary of women’s suffrage and she then spoke about her family members who inspired her to seek public office. Yellow and purple mums were placed at the marker on Mayo Collins square – a site that will be undergoing changes as Oak Street is reconfigured in the future.
It was heartening to see a room full of women activists and to hear Representative Kathleen Reinstein from Revere express how envious she was of the number of women officials in Framingham. Sometimes it takes an outsider to remind us of how fortunate we are to have so many willing participants in our local government – both women and men. Once again the Framingham History Center’s roundtable providing an opportunity for dialogue around an important issue from the past. Stay tuned for more…

I wasn’t able to attend, but it sounded like an awesome program. Was it taped, by any chance?
