History Day 2017
Members of the Oakland Historical Society got to meet with "President Woodrow Wilson" at the Hermitage May 20th 2017 at our History Day event. The re-enactor shared the president's support for the Red Cross aids during WWI, portrayed by Linda Arns, as well as for the suffragists as represented by "Harriot Stanton Blatch", daughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, portrayed by Jerri Angermueller.
Harriot actually grew up in near-by Tenafly, New Jersey. She continued her mother's struggle for getting the women's vote in the USA, which became reality after WWI in 1920. Harriot learned about supporting the strong female labor force while she was living with her husband in England. She helped the women brewery workers improve their working conditions, then returned to America to help the silk
factory workers in New Jersey and New York become able to improve theirs. She was responsible for bringing female speakers from England over to the US to support the Women's Land Army. Women wanted to help feed the troops and found much resistance from the government in carrying out this much needed service during WWI. The advances made in Bergen County were presented at the event.
