Honoring Olympia Brown, Racine's Local Hero of the Suffragette Movement

I mentioned to a friend that we should place our "I voted" stickers on our own local heroine's grave, she did that and started this page.

May this be a place to remember those who fought for our ability to vote & those who never lived to cast her ballot.
