Discovering New York Suffrage Stories Panel Discussion
WNED PBS Executive Producer Lynne Bader hosts a free virtual sneak peek of WNED PBS's latest production "Discovering New York Suffrage Stories" and a panel discussion with historians Lillian Williams, PhD, and Judith Wellman to explore the intersection of women’s voting rights and race.
To complement the stories featured in the documentary, WNED PBS commissioned a series of digital video essays by independent female producer/filmmakers. These short films provide an opportunity for the filmmakers to tell an important story and contribute their unique perspective and insight into the suffrage story.
