Susan B. Anthony gets N.Y. day

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – New York state has declared an annual day of commemoration for Susan B. Anthony, the women’s rights pioneer who fought for the right to vote.

Susan B. Anthony Day will be Feb. 15 each year. The bill was signed into law with other measures announced Friday.

The state has more than 20 days of commemoration, including one for Harriet Tubman, an organizer of the Underground Railroad. The commemoration days aren’t holidays.

Anthony’s efforts led to the 19th Amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote 100 years after Anthony was born. Anthony, an abolitionist, was also instrumental in securing property and employment rights for women.

Gov. George Pataki noted that the announcement to honor the woman who did so much for American voting comes days after record voter turnouts around the nation.
