Seneca Falls: The Legend w/ Deva Woodly (Part Two)

All this month, we're partnering with the Charles F. Kettering Foundation for a series called "Democracy Under Construction." You can find out more about their work at kettering.org and listen to their podcast "The Context" at kettering.org/thecontext

Our conversation about Seneca Falls continues with a look at what happened after the convention -- and how the story of the women's rights movement got written, rewritten, and contested in the decades that followed. Deva Woodly is back to connect all of it to how movements tell their own stories today.

Be sure to check out Deva's book “Reckoning: Black Lives Matter and the Democratic Necessity of Social Movements”
