So today at 12:00 in the library, a group of people got together and did a little performance for about 20 minutes or so. Each person in the group took turns standing up on a table in the center of a circle reciting quotes and speaches from great women's rights activists. Some of the people memorized the quotes, while some read off of a sheet of paper. At the end, they all stood up and recited the same thing.
I feel as if what they did was very moving. It allowed everyone who watched to become more understanding and aware of how far woman have come, since the age of unequality. I think what that group of people did was beautiful and amazing.
My favorite quote was the second one recited. The woman who first said those words had such a strong voice. She knew what she wanted and she strived to achieve her goals. I thought it was amazing how she repeated "And aint I a woman?" over and over again. It was very, very moving.
I LOVED IT.
