\nThis year marks the 200th anniversary of Thomas Wilson Dorr’s birth. Dorr is renown in Rhode Island history as the principal draftsman of the People’s Constitution, an attempt in 1841 to expand voting rights beyond the strict limitations that existed under the state’s colonial charter still in effect at that time. Susan Graham’s talk will examine the role of women in the Dorr Rebellion.
