Quote from Our Flag
... on the anniversary of Susan B. Anthony's daring submission of an election ballot ...
"It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens;
nor yet we, the male citizens;
but we, the whole people, who formed the Union.
And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them;
not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity,
but to the whole people - women as well as men."
- Susan B. Anthony
(Famous suffragist = fought for women's right to vote)
