KANSAS HISTORY BUFFS turned out Tues. night to hear the story of the "Army of Amazons: Women's Fight for Labor Rights in Kansas Coalfields". Speaker Linda O'Nelio Knoll revealed that her Italian grandmother was one of the "amazons" in the news-making December 1921 march to protest unfair labor practices. It took place in Franklin, which today is home to the Miners Hall Museum. The program was made possible by a grant from Humanities Kansas.

Thank you for another excellent program.
Do you remember the sitcom Threes Company?
Do you remember the Ropers?
Well, there seems to be a craze going round called a Roper Romp.
It's a situation where folks dress up like Roper. Specifically Mrs. Roper.
Yes. Caftan, curly hair and chunky, gaudy jewelry. All of it!
We have been chatting about having such an event here at the library and include snacks and a scavenger hunt.
An evening of silly fun. We would probably do it on a Friday or Saturday evening after closing hour.
Thoughts? Comment below please. Also, share, share, share
IF this is something that folks would be interested in.
So, this is your opportunity to weigh in.
Is this something you would be interested in?

Would need time to procure said caftans! And might be great in early 2025 when the holidays are over and social boredom settles in for the winter...
Yes
START AT THE VERY BEGINNING. The 6 p.m. Tuesday night youth crochet group taught by Jen Tarter is open to all, newbies or not. In fact, some have become quite skilled and they learn from each other.

JOIN US TONIGHT AT 7 PM for "Army of Amazons: Women's Fight for Labor Rights in Kansas Coalfields", a Humanities Kansas presentation by Linda O'Nelio Knoll, Miners Hall Museum in Franklin. In December 1921 thousands of Kansas women marched to protest unfair labor practices. The New York Times called them an Army of Amazons. Their fight for democracy and labor rights led to state and national legislation.
