Listen "Episode 89: Elizabeth Wanamaker Peratrovich"
Episode Synopsis
Come with me to Alaska this week to learn about the amazing woman who was instrumental to the Alaska Territorial Legislature passing the Anti-Discrimination Act of 1945... the first anti-discrimination law to be passed in the United States.
She was called a "Fighter in Velvet Gloves" because she was was tough, but kind. Wicked smart, but approachable. Territorial Governor Gruening said that Elizabeth's intelligence was obvious, her composure faultless, and her plea could not have been more effective.
I hope that you love learning about her as much as I did.
