The complete set of oral histories debuted online March 1 as part of the museum’s Women’s History Month programming and in celebration of America’s 250th.

In June of 1901, Francis Griffin gave a speech to the Alabama Constitutional Convention in Montgomery. The convention was called as the reconstruction era was officially ending, and states across the south started to legislate Jim Crow restrictions with segregation and voting requirements which ostracized African American citizens. Francis Griffin, who served as the President of the Alabama Women’s Suffrage Association, spoke on behalf of women’s suffrage and suggested a provision to the new constitution. Even as delegates tried to block her from speaking, on June 11th, Francis Griffin became the first woman to speak to an Alabama lawmaking body.
