As the Justice Bell arrived in Bedford, PA, on August 3, 1915, a heatwave that had gripped the state for days brought oppressive humidity, stifling temperatures in the 90s, and torrential rain. Louise Hall, umbrella in hand, delivered her speech to a large crowd. #justicebell #1915justicebelltour

On July 24, 1915, one thousand people gathered in Brookville, PA, to see the Justice Bell and listen to suffragists, Harriet Grim, Emma MacAlarney & Louise Hall, advocate for the right to vote. #justicebell #1915justicebelltour #womenssuffrage #PAHistory #americanhistory #brookvillepa

The Justice Bell and suffragists entered Meadville in Crawford County on July 1, 1915, after a grueling, rainy seven-hour journey from Erie County. That afternoon, they traveled to Cambridge Springs, home to a flourishing suffrage society, where a crowd of several hundred greeted them. #justicebell

“There can be no divided democracy, no class government, no half-free county under the constitution. Therefore, there can be no discrimination, no segregation, no separation of some citizens from the rights which belong to all.” ~ Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune
