To honor Anthony’s birthday on a national level, a bill was presented in 2011 to establish it as a national holiday, but it did not pass. Several states still observe this day, including New York, Florida, California, Wisconsin, and West Virginia.
On the day, various events are commemorating Anthony’s life and contributions to the US, as well as of the US women’s suffrage movement. A memorial service is held at her grave and in the National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House in Rochester, New York. Special events are held at the Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum in Adams, MA.
