Today–June 17th–in 1873 the trial of Susan B. Anthony began in Canandaigua, NY: Her crime–voting without “the legal right.” Last summer I visited the actual courtroom.
The bust of her is beside the door. The plaque reads: “JUSTICE DENIED HERE.” Here’s a link to information about the trial: http://www.fjc.gov/history/home.nsf/page/tu_anthony_narrative.html
