Cleveland History Center Planning New Exhibits for Women’s Suffrage Anniversary

By Marie Elium
March 12, 2019
Western Reserve Historical Society (WRHS) has announced plans to mark the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage and the 100thanniversary of the League of Women Voters of Greater Cleveland with a new permanent exhibit at the Cleveland History Center in University Circle.
Presented by WRHS in collaboration with the League of Women Voters of Greater Cleveland, Women and the Struggle for Political Power will trace the story of women in politics, exploring the early days of the suffragette movement, the successful fight for the 19th Amendment, the birth and growth of the League of Women Voters as a force for clean government and the election of northern Ohio women to positions of power on the local, state and national levels. The exhibit will open in 2020. WRHS will also serve as the Regional Coordinator for the State of Ohio Women Suffrage Centennial organized by the Ohio History Connection, the historical society for the State of Ohio.
The experiences and contributions of women, African Americans, and immigrants are a focus of the Cleveland History Center, and are core to the Empowerment theme that defines and unifies the experience. Women and the Struggle for Political Powercontinues the transformation of the Cleveland History Center that began in 2013 with the renovation of the Crawford Auto Aviation Museum and the opening of the Euclid Beach Park Grand Carousel in 2014. In 2017, WRHS celebrated its 150th anniversary with the grand opening of Cleveland Starts Here®, a permanent exhibit about Cleveland sponsored by the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Foundation.
In 2019, WRHS explores aspects of our history that, in the past, have not received the attention they should command.
Currently, an exhibit about the life and work of the Reverend E. T. Caviness: Church, Community, Cleveland (open now through August 2019) and the permanent exhibit “Carl & Louis Stokes Making History” examine the political and social achievements of three great leaders in the African American community.
