Pardon for US suffrage leader

President Donald Trump said he will pardon Susan B. Anthony, a leader in the women’s suffrage movement, who was arrested for voting in 1872 in violation of laws permitting only men to vote.

Anthony is best known for her role in securing voting rights for women, but she also was a strong antislavery and voting rights pioneer.

Trump said he would sign “a full and complete pardon on Tuesday, the 100-year anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which ensured women the right to vote. It’s also known as the Susan B. Anthony Amendment.
