Visiting Susan B. Anthony’s grave

People gather at the grave of women’s suffragist leader Susan B. Anthony in Mt. Hope Cemetery in Rochester, NY, Monday, in anticipation of the election. The cemetery will extend its hours on Election Day to give people more time to visit her grave. Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren says with Democrat Hillary Clinton as the first woman nominated by a major political party to run for president it’s appropriate to keep Mount Hope Cemetery open later Tuesday night.

Just a few steps into the Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester, N.Y., up the curve of a cobblestone walkway on a low hill, is the grave of Susan B. Anthony , a leader of the movement for women’s suffrage who lived about three miles away. On Tuesday, her gravestone was nearly invisible beneath a coating of “I Voted” stickers and behind a line of hundreds of people who came here to pay their respects. They left notes of thanks to a woman who was arrested when she dared to vote and who did not live to see women granted that right. The cemetery opened early, at 7:30 a.m., to mark the day, and was to stay open late/ New York Times . More here.
