********
Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment, The Kentucky Suffrage Project explores women's suffrage in Kentucky within the context of the national movement. This intersectional project lifts up under-told stories and suffragists of color. It looks at economic, educational, and racial tensions in that movement, as well as challenges and disenfranchisement that still exist today. Join Looking for Lilith Theatre Company (LFL) as we engage in the art forms of the movement to celebrate our local suffragists.
LFL is kicking off The Kentucky Suffrage Project with From Bardstown to Broadway: The Road to Votes for Women - a virtual suffrage tour - with a variety of events beginning August 23, 2020. We will continue our celebration through Election Day, November 3rd. The first stop on our tour will air on social media and YouTube, where we'll be highlighting events, stories, and underheard voices from Louisville, KY that were part of the women's suffrage movement. These episodes will contain livestream events, along with monologues and scenes filmed virtually and on-location around the city. In addition, LFL will be hosting virtual Story Circles and Panel Discussions on current and past voting rights and issues. Interactive Suffrage Activity Kits for families will be available for purchase online and at specific pick-up locations.

All events will take place on Facebook Live & YouTube Live unless otherwise noted.
