Susan B. Anthony/Harriet Beecher Stowe
We can thank Susan B. Anthony for today’s feature.  On this date in1873, Susan B. Anthony was fined $100 for attempting to vote in the 1872 election.  She never paid the fine.  May we never forget how people fought for the freedoms that we take for granted on a daily basis.
