Section 1. The right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

This amendment to the Constitution giving women the right to vote, was finally ratified in August 18, 1920. Many generations of suffragists (supporters of women’s right to vote) lectured, wrote, protested, were physically abused and were jailed before they won the right to vote. Their opponents included women’s groups who thought that the right to vote would mean they would lose their protected places in the home, religious groups, and male opposition groups. Some argued that suffragists were “anti-female, anti-family, and anti-American.”

Alice Morgan Wright (1881-1975), was a suffragette as well as a renowned artist. She made her home in Albany, NY. This box is a salute to Alice and was originally intended for the park outside her home. The park, however, turned out to be one of the busiest outdoor places ever. After two complete circuits of the park, it was determined that there was no place for the box.

The box has instead been placed in Chestnut Branch Park near Barnsboro. This park will serve as the hiding place for boxes that, for whatever reason, could not be placed where originally intended.

Enter the first parking lot that you see on your right and drive behind the hockey rink to the gravel parking lot behind. Look toward the kiddie playground and take the paved path to the northeast. At the split, go east. Take a right on the red brick path that leads to the WTC I-beam. Note that the powers that be have decided that the Let Freedom Ring bell should be chained and unringable. Use whatever you have at hand to make that bell ring anyway. Continue down the red path and make a left on the black. At the split, take the path at 30 degrees. Pass the bench and take the dirt path on the right at 100 degrees. Go down hill and over a short wooden bridge. At the next decision making point, go 82 degrees. Then at the next split, go 80 degrees. You will pass a multi-trunk beech tree with EL and AF & NL written on it. Now go the same number of steps as the number of the amendment above and look to your right. Look in the end of the hollow, fallen log that you see to your right. You do remember the amendment number, right? There are a number of fallen trees out there. Please rehide the box well.
