Today marks the death of Harriet Forten Purvis (1810-1875). Typically, we ask you to join in the celebration of a birth, but Harriet’s birthday is unknown, but her contributions to the rights we enjoy today are worthy of remembrance. Improving the civil and voting rights of others was a family tradition for Harriet and her relatives:

** Daughter of Charlotte Valdine Forten (1st generation suffragist)

** Sister of Sarah Forten Purvis and Margaret Forten (2nd generation suffragists)

** Mother to Hattie Purvis (3rd generation suffragist)

** Aunt of Charlotte Forten Grimke (3rd generation suffragist)

** Wife of Robert Purvis Sr ** (instrumental in development of the Underground Railroad)
