As Election Day approaches, visitors flock to suffragist Susan B. Anthony's grave to honor her legacy by leaving 'I Voted' stickers, recalling her historic illegal vote in 1872.
With the 2020 election featuring the first female vice presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, voters felt inspired to commemorate Anthony's pioneering fight for women's suffrage through their actions.
Local residents express their commitment to voting at Anthony's grave, with one stating, 'It's a significant day.' Such gestures symbolize the ongoing importance of suffrage.
Despite her legacy, Anthony's views on race and voting were complicated; she believed women should have the right to vote before Black men, revealing a historical tension in the suffrage movement.
