Commemorating the 200th Birthday of Antoinette Brown Blackwell, the first woman ordained as a minister in the United States and a pioneer in the struggle for women's rights and social reform

This resolution (K 578) formally commemorates the 200th birthday of Antoinette Brown Blackwell, the first woman ordained as a minister in the U.S. and a key figure in women's rights. It directs the legislative body to recognize her legacy through a luncheon on May 24, 2025, and to transmit copies of the resolution to historical institutions like the Henrietta Historical Society. As a ceremonial resolution, it has no policy impact or direct effect on constituents - it solely honors her historical contributions to religious equality and social reform.
