Her keynote address at #ArchivesJuly4 was one of the most memorable at that annual event! She shared the podium with Abigail Adams to deliver a witty speech. We’ll always remember these ladies. #RememberingCokie

(Cokie’s speech starts at 38:12 below) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0bq6yFFXVw">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

If you have visited the National Archives Museum, you have heard Cokie’s voice reading many letters in the “Dear Uncle Sam” section. And Cokie lent both her support for our #RightfullyHers exhibit and her voice to help bring the story of woman suffrage to life. #RememberingCokie

Thank you, Cokie, for all your support through the years.
