Syracuse resident Matilda Joslyn Gage was on the forefront of the suffragette movement, but is excluded from most history books due to her radical ideas at the time. These high school girls are continuing her legacy.
On this episode of “Peeling it Back,” we sit down with high school students Chadani Timsina and Abby Kambhampaty, who are part of the Gage Ambassadors for Human Rights program. Run by the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation, the program engages high school girls in community activism and service. The two high school girls discuss what it’s like to participate in the program virtually and the community engagement initiatives they’ve done such as rallies against hate crimes and publishing study guides about history left out of the common curriculum.
