Radical Hospitality at the M'Clintock Home

Grade Level:
Upper Elementary: Third Grade through Fifth Grade
Subject:
Social Studies

Thomas and Mary Ann M'Clintock and their five children made this their home for 20 years. The M'Clintock family ran a local business, led the local Quaker Monthly Meeting, and were involved in almost every reform activity in Western New York.

On July 16, 1848, Mary Ann M'Clintock hosted a planning session for the First Women's Rights Convention. At this session she, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and others drafted a document they called the Declaration of Sentiments. It was ratified on the second day of the First Woman's Rights Convention and signed by 100 men and women, proclaiming that "all men and women are created equal."
