Melania Trump wants to use art to help children learn about womens suffrage.
The first lady on Monday announced a youth art project to coincide with the ratification nearly 100 years ago of the constitutional amendment that granted women the right to vote. The project, Building the Movement: Americas Youth Celebrate 100 Years of Womens Suffrage, will showcase artwork by students in grades three to 12 from all U.S. states and territories.
Melania Trump said children should be included in conversations about the upcoming centennial so they can learn the history behind the womens suffrage movement, including peaceful protests like those they see taking place in response to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
For decades, women leaders lobbied, marched, and protested for equality and their right to vote in the United States, the first lady said in a statement to The Associated Press. It is my hope that this project will both support and expand the important conversations taking place on equality and the impact of peaceful protests, while encouraging children to engage in the history behind this consequential movement in their own home states.
Children are being asked to submit drawings by July 6 depicting individuals, objects and events representing the suffrage movement. One piece of art from each state and territory will be included in a White House exhibit scheduled to open in August. How the art will be presented either a physical exhibit or online will be determined based on federal guidelines for COVID-19.

(12,712 posts)Like a sugar baby really understands anything but getting a sugar Daddy? Tell us all about how that works.
Maybe she should focus on how to do a good prenup or how to get, and when to leave your sugar Daddy, since that is her line of expertise.
How would an enabler be able to inspire anyone or help the oppressed when what she is doing is another publicity stunt for Daddy? That's just nude model hypocrisy.
