Religion and Reform in the quotBurned Over Districtquot

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKxEOmAZCd8

Religion and reform were synonymous in 19th century Western New York. This video features extended interview clips from Discovering New York Suffrage Stories, and shows how reform efforts around the anti-slavery and abolition served as a training ground for women’s rights activists. While religious groups fueled the movement, some suffragists fought to preserve the separation of church and state. • This WNED PBS production premiered in February 2021. • Find out more about Discovering New York Suffrage Stories entire project, educator resources, lesson plans, independent female filmmakers and features at https://www.wned.org/television/wned-... • Visit https://www.wned.org/television/wned-... to see more WNED PBS Original Productions. • Major support for Discovering New York Suffrage Stories was provided by The National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the Human Endeavor, by the Susan Howarth Foundation, and KeyBank in partnership with First Niagara Foundation.
