NHD Topic Selection

For my NHD project I chose to do Lucretia Mott as my indualvial. While looking for someone to research i had a discussion with Ms.Klose our art teacher. She informed me of Mottt's contribute and hertiage left behind the the Germantown area . This stood out. Plus she was involved in the Womens cause for more rights. I believe that was good since I am a strong indepedent women. Once I started researched her overall life I became interested in the Decalartion of Sent. It is a document that is modeled after the Declartion of Indep. but for rights for women. I chose to focis on this aspect oif her life for my project. I will also be doing a performance such as an inner self monolouge.
