The Life and Legacy of Lillian Exum Clement
The League of Women Voters of Asheville-Buncombe County presents The Life and Legacy of Lillian Exum Clement at 7:00pm on Monday, March 11 at the Black Mountain Public Library, 105 N. Dougherty St., Black Mountain. Clement, a native of Black Mountain, made history in the early 1900s as the first woman attorney in North Carolina and the first female legislator in the southeast. Actor Samantha Lebrocq, in period costume and hairstyle created by Sandy McDaniel of the Montford Park Players, will portray Clement, and vocalist Alex Nuesse, also in costume, will perform an authentic suffragist song. The program is the first event in the yearlong Votes for Women! Centennial Series celebrating the upcoming 100th anniversary, in 2020, of both the creation of the League of Women Voters and the passage of the 19th (women’s suffrage) Amendment.
