Suffragette City

I'm not talking about the David Bowie song. I'm talking about the right to vote. Specifically women's suffrage in the United States.

In the 1700's women actually LOST the right to vote in every state at that time.

Susan B. Anthony strongly objected to women putting the suffrage movement on the back burner to focus on supporting troops during the Civil War.

In 1872 Susan B. Anthony and 11 other women were arrested for illegally voting in the Presidential Election.

In 1872 Victoria Woodhull became the first woman to run for President. In 1972 Shirley Chisholm became the first black woman to run for President.

Teddy Roosevelt campaigned as a supporter of women's suffrage.

The Nineteenth Amendment was ratified in 1920, 100 years after Susan B. Anthony was born.

Sharks

We went to see Sharks at the Omni theater. I learned somethings.

Whale sharks are the largest sharks and the least dangerous. They only eat plankton.

Male reef sharks can get over excited during mating and bite the females to death.

Female sand sharks do not eat the last month of pregnancy and moss will grow between their teeth.

The great white is the only shark that can stick it's head out of the water.

Sharks have been around since before the dinosaurs. Most sharks are now on the endangered species list. Way to go humans.
