Jackson Business & Professional Women (BPW) held a lunch at Cascades Manor on November 18. The guest speaker was Susan Murphy, FOC staff attorney and Program Manager of Jackson County Family Court. The topic was ‘The Silent Sentinels Then and Now, 1917 to 2024.’ The Silent Sentinels were a group of over 2,000 women in favor of women’s suffrage, organized by Alice Paul and the National Women’s Party, who nonviolently protested in front of the White House during Woodrow Wilson’s presidency starting January 10, 1917.
