PROCLAMATION
WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH 2025
PRESENTED TO BEVERLY LANE
WHEREAS, women of every race, class, and ethnic background have made historic contributions to the growth
and strength of Danville and our Nation in countless recorded and unrecorded mays; and
WHEREAS, women have played and continue to play a critical economic, cultural, and social role in every
sphere of life by constituting a significant portion of the labor force working inside and outside of the home, and
WHEREAS, women have played a unique role throughout the history of our Nation by providing a majority
of the volunteer labor force; and
WHEREAS, women were particularly important in the establishment of early charitable, philanthropic and
cultural institutions, and
WHEREAS, women of every race, class, and ethnic background served as early leaders in the forefront of every
major progressive social change movement, and
WHEREAS, women have served our country courageously in the military, and
WHEREAS, women have been leaders, not only in securing their own rights of suffrage and equal opportunity,
but also in the abolitionist movement, the emancipation movement, the industrial labor movement, the civil
rights movement, and the peace movement, which create a more fair and just society for all, and
WHEREAS, despite these contributions, the role of women in history has been consistently overlooked and
undervalued in the literature, leadership, teaching and study of American history; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the Danville Town Council does hereby proclaim the month of March 2025 as Women's
History Month in the Town of Danville and honors all the accomplishments and contributions of the women
in our community.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereunto set our hands this 1811, day of March 2025.
