*Forward Into Light Reimagined* is a history based program using the
popular late 19th-early 20th century art form of the pageant to tell the
story of women's rights throughout history with a heavy focus on the US
suffrage movement.  Actors in white will perform to narration  and songs,
including "The March of the Women" by Dame Ethel Smyth. The pageant is the
final stop on The Champlain Valley Suffrage Centennial Auto Tour.  The tour
commemorates and celebrates the passing of the 19th Amendment in 1920 and
recognizes and demonstrates the many ways women fought for the right to
vote prior to 1920. Special attention is given to hometown and national
heroes throughout the 4-weekend event.  Event details are available on the
website champlainvalleywomen.com. All events are free and open to the
public.
