Pennsauken Historical Society Holds Annual Meeting This Saturday
On Saturday, Nov. 16, at 1:00 p.m., the Pennsauken Historical Society will hold its annual meeting at Griffith Morgan House, welcoming Richard Keiser, Ph.D., a retired instructor from the Community College of Philadelphia, who will offer a presentation on the women’s suffrage movement in the United States in the 19th and early 20th centuries, tracing the setbacks as well as the victories that finally assured women the right to vote, only 100 years ago. Dr. Keiser, who holds his degree from Oxford University, will draw lessons from the struggle for social change that are strikingly relevant to this day. The public is welcome and invited to attend this free program, which will follow a very brief election of officers for the year 2020.
Griffith Morgan House is located at 243 Griffith Morgan Lane, off River Rd. between Delair and Rt. 73.
