Women's March: Portland

Anxious about the current political situation, we  gathered together to support one another in Pioneer Courthouse Square. Speaking of pioneers, for many years I taught at an elementary school in Portland named after the great suffragette, Abigail Scott Duniway. She did not give up. When her brother, Harvey Scott, who owned the Oregonian newspaper published articles against women's suffrage, she started her own newspaper, The New Northwest. He said to her, "Women will get the right to vote over my dead body."  "Well, Harvey," she replied, "I guess I'll have to live longer than you." And she did. Harvey Scott died in 1910. Women secured the right to vote in 1912. Abigail died in 1915. We've been through this before. We will not back down.
