The Suffrage Coalition will host a living history banquet on Aug. 17 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at the Crowne Plaza in Knoxville, 401 West Summit Hill Dr. 37902. During the event, which will raise funds to preserve suffrage history, attendees will be able to mingle with characters playing the roles of Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lizzie Crozier French, Frankie Pierce and Febb Burn — the mother of Tennessee Senator Harry T. Burn, who cast the deciding vote for suffrage in that body. Other event elements include a cocktail hour, silent auction, suffrage art display and reenactment of the 1920 Tennessee Senate debate. Finally, attendees will get a sneak preview of songs that will be part of a new musical, “A Vote of Her Own,” which will premiere in 2022. Tickets can be purchased online.
