Anthony Museum (@SusanBHouse)on Tuesday, the 100th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which granted certain women the right to vote. Anthony was arrested for voting in 1872, 50 years before the amendment was passed, and convicted by an all-male jury.Many rejected Trump’s gesture, noting that Anthony may not have wanted a pardon, as she was always proud of her acts of rebellion and how they furthered the women’s suffrage movement.In a lengthy Twitter thread, the Susan B. Anthony Museum noted that she was once “outraged to be denied a trial by jury,” adding, “If one wants to honor Susan B. Anthony today, a clear stance against any form of voter suppression would be welcome.”“Anthony was also a strong proponent of sex education, fair labor practices, excellent public education, equal pay for equal work, and elimination of all forms of discrimination,” read another tweet.She was outraged to be denied a trial by jury.
