In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment that gave American women the right to vote, Johns Hopkins University will partner with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s OrchKids Program to explore and raise awareness about this momentous occasion.
OrchKids will embark on a fact-finding and inspiration-seeking journey guided through the writings of Elaine Weiss and Dr. Martha Jones to discover the intricate and contentious element of racism throughout the suffrage movement.
OrchKids students will create an original composition centered around three distinct themes of the suffrage movement: representation, voting, and the future of democracy. While OrchKids students are busy composing, a group of film students from Johns Hopkins University will gather imagery to complement the composition creating a special audio/visual presentation that will inform - and at times challenge - our understanding of the history of the 19th Amendment and its effect on female empowerment today.
