Adirondacks Mountain Named after Inez Milholland

PBS Adirondacks Suffrage Centennial Video

Special events were held this summer to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the passage/ratification of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote. As our Jack LaDuke tells us, the celebrations paid homage to the Women’s Suffrage Movement and one of its heroes from here in the Adirondacks, Inez Milholland.

Voices of Persistence: Filmmakers Behind Films on Inez Milholland and the American Suffrage Movement

In 1916 suffragist Inez Milholland went up against President Woodrow Wilson who, like many men of the time, saw the possibility of women voting as a threat. With one of the most important voting days in our lifetime right around the corner, I talk with filmmakers who’ve made both narrative and documentary films about Inez and her fight to make sure every American has the right to vote. Join me, Amy Walker, Jessica Graham, and Martha Wheelock.

Listen to the in-depth interview.

The films will be followed by a panel discussion with actress Amy Walker, producer Martine Melloul, and Forward Into Light filmmaker Martha Wheelock.

Wheelock’s short documentary, Inez Milholland – Forward Into Light, will introduce you to Milholland, the woman who rode the white horse as a Joan of Arc on March 3, 1913. This film will be followed by Into Light, which takes us to Blanchard Hall in Los Angeles, on October 23, 1916, as Milholland addresses 1,500 cheering and curious attendees.
