Champions of Equality: Alice Paul's Quaker Spices
Tuesday, June 9th
6:30 PM
Virtual
Join APC on June 9th for our next virtual Champions of Equality. Historian Alice Alvarado will be talking with us about her research on Alice Paul’s Quaker upbringing.
Paul was born into a Hicksite Quaker family in New Jersey. Although Paul left institutionalized Quakerism, she challenged believers to return to the original Quakerism of their ancestors. Her lived faith is witnessed through the practical application of the Quaker “SPICES,” which successfully shaped the strategies of the National Woman’s Party in the American women’s suffrage movement between 1910 and 1920.
