It was state to state. Last state allowed women on juries in 1968. Oh, those good old days. 12 Angry Men was in NY, which started allowing women on state juries in 1927. However The Civil Rights Act of 1957 gave women the right to serve on federal juries. They were still often excluded.

Escaping politics for awhile. My art class is my sanity’s savior. Here’s my latest painting. It’s a Florida panther. I was going to call it Panther’s Dessert but my art teacher has named it Cougar Melon and I just can’t top that.
