Happy Read A Book Day! Today we are honoring inductee, author, and activist Harriet Beecher Stowe. She is best known for her novel 'Uncle Tom’s Cabin', which carried powerful anti-slavery messages and advanced the cause of racial equality. Stowe was also a pioneer for both the abolition movement and women’s education. Through her teaching at her sister Catharine’s Hartford Seminary, she encouraged women to learn to read and write. #ReadABookDay #WomenWriters #LiteraryHistory (fb)

Happy Labor Day! The Hall thanks all the hardworking women and men who are the backbone of our community. Our 1994 inductee, Betty Tianti, dedicated her life to advancing the labor movement. She paved the way as the nation’s first woman to lead a labor federation. "Trade unionism is a way of life. It is something that I believe is the only way that workers can improve their lives, not only for themselves, but for generations that come after." —Betty Tianti #LaborDay #CommunityHeroes (fb)
