WHEREAS, Historians Betty Trapp Chapman and Anne Hulme Sloan | ||
have curated the exhibition "Houston Women Cast Their Ballots: | ||
Celebrating 100 Years of the Right to Vote," which is being shown at | ||
The Heritage Society at Sam Houston Park through May 29, 2021; and | ||
WHEREAS, The exhibit commemorates the role of Houston women | ||
in the suffrage movement and the 72-year fight for equality; timed | ||
to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the | ||
19th Amendment, it opened as The Heritage Society's primary event | ||
on July 2, 2020, and it features a collection of historical | ||
documents, photographs, textiles, and other objects and artifacts, | ||
including a classic automobile representing the one that two | ||
suffragists drove 10,000 miles across the country to campaign for | ||
the right to vote; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. Chapman and Ms. Sloan have long dedicated their | ||
scholarly efforts to the study of Houston's history and the ways | ||
that Houston citizens have shaped the community; both women have | ||
published a number of books on these topics, along with many | ||
periodical and educational journal articles, newspaper articles, | ||
and papers submitted to the Texas State Historical Association; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through their meticulous research efforts, Betty | ||
Chapman and Anne Sloan have helped bring to life an important | ||
chapter in the history of Houston and the broader women's rights | ||
movement; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor Betty Trapp Chapman and Anne Hulme Sloan | ||
for curating The Heritage Society exhibition "Houston Women Cast | ||
Their Ballots: Celebrating 100 Years of the Right to Vote" and | ||
extend to them sincere appreciation for their dedicated work; and, | ||
be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared | ||
for Ms. Chapman and Ms. Sloan as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
