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. See
