DESCRIPTION:Sarah Grimke is known as a pioneer of the women's suffrage and
  abolitionist movements in the mid-1800s. In this 50-minute program\, Chri
 s Potts tells the story of Sarah Grimke in Sarah's voice\, immersing the l
 istener in a compelling vocal performance. She first developed the idea to
  research the life and interpret the story of Sarah Grimke after leading a
  discussion on Sue Monk Kidd's "The Invention of Wings" in 2019 at the His
 torical Society of Harford County\, where she now serves as Executive Dire
 ctor. Supported by the Bel Air Friends of HCPL. .\nhttps://hcpl.libnet.inf

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>When 26 year-old Sarah Moore Grimke boarde
 d a ship from Charleston to Philadelphia in 1819 to accompany her ailing f
 ather north\, she embarked on a history making journey that took her from 
 failed Southern belle to pioneering abolitionist and women&rsquo\;s rights
  activist.<br />&nbsp\;<br />Born into the Southern gentry\, Sarah&rsquo\;
 s abhorrence of slavery and devotion to God led her to convert to Quakeris
 m and settle in Philadelphia where her charismatic and irrepressible young
 er sister Angelina Emily Grimke later joined her. After tumultuous years w
 ithin the Society of Friends\, Sarah then followed Angelina north to New Y
 ork\, where the two rose to public prominence and national notoriety by do
 ing the largely unprecedented: daring to speak their minds.<br />&nbsp\;<b
 r />In a time when no "respectable woman" would utter a word of public dis
 course\, the Grimke sisters became among the first women in America to con
 duct a lecture tour. What began as ladies gatherings in private parlors so
 on grew to packed audiences of men and women held spellbound by the sister
 s&rsquo\; calls for immediate abolition of the enslaved and then\, even mo
 re radically\, equal rights for women.</p>\nhttps://hcpl.libnet.info/event
