Here’s a story that shows
how Women’s history, Black history, Correction History, and U.S. History
intersect. In Seneca Falls there’s the Wesleyan Chapel begun in 1843 by 39
Baptists when their church didn’t cut slavery ties. Soon Presbyterians joined
it after their church expelled Rhoda Bement who challenged their minister’s
not announcing a women’s abolitionist meeting.

The Wesleyan Chapel and
Frederick Douglass images are from the National Park Services web
presentation about its Women’s Rights National Historic Park in Seneca Falls.
