- [Dr. Kristoffer Smemo, History Professor at the University of Washington in St. Louis](https://woodrowwilsonhouse.org/testimonial/dr-kristoffer-smemo-history-professor-at-the-university-of-washington-in-st-louis/) - What Black Lives Matter is confronting is also opening up new possibilities for quite profound change in the United States.
- [James - A Guest](https://woodrowwilsonhouse.org/testimonial/james-a-guest-2/) - Thank you so much to our tour guide - Her tour was simply magnificent. She knew every detail - and spoke with such clarity, warmth, and authority. Her considered personal conclusions on Mr. Wilson's legacy were spell-binding.
- [Heather, Broadcasters Association](https://woodrowwilsonhouse.org/testimonial/heather-broadcasters-association-2/) - It is a beautiful, beautiful property and we hope to visit again in the future. Our group had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for your help in coordinating. This is quite frankly, a hidden gem in DC.
- [Heather, Broadcasters Association](https://woodrowwilsonhouse.org/testimonial/heather-broadcasters-association/) - I cannot tell you how much our group enjoyed the Woodrow Wilson House. What a tremendous amount of knowledge our guide has - he truly made the Woodrow Wilson House even better than we expected.
- [Garrett Peck, Author, Historian, Tour Guide, and Wilson House Board Member](https://woodrowwilsonhouse.org/testimonial/garrett-peck/) - Out of every crisis we’ve ever had, there's always been a catharsis afterwards. That's not being a prophet, it's simply just studying history and you’ll see that always happens.
- [Brenda Jones, author of Queens of the Resistance](https://woodrowwilsonhouse.org/testimonial/brenda-jones/) - For all of those individuals who are similarly interested in changing, shaping, having a dynamic impact on America, politics is the place to do it.
- [Helen Hamilton Gardener-- Suffragist](https://woodrowwilsonhouse.org/testimonial/helen-hamilton-gardner-suffrage/) - A man is valued of men for many things, least of which is his chastity. A woman is valued of men for few things, chief of which is her chastity. This double code can by no sane or reasonable person be claimed as women made.
- [Laura Kumin, author of All Stirred Up: Suffrage Cookbooks, Food, and the Battle for Women's Right to Vote](https://woodrowwilsonhouse.org/testimonial/laura-kumin-2/) - If we only honor the big names and the loud women, we’re really missing what suffrage was all about - which is rights for all women.
- [Laura Kumin, author of All Stirred Up: Suffrage Cookbooks, Food, and the Battle for Women's Right to Vote](https://woodrowwilsonhouse.org/testimonial/laura-kumin/) - My takeaway from suffrage is that...it takes those who are willing to be on the front lines and to be arrested and to picket; but it also takes those who are willing to do really hard work, but unseen work.
- [Ambassador Joel Danies](https://woodrowwilsonhouse.org/testimonial/ambassador-joel-danies/) - You don't need to treat blacks and women special, just as equals.
- [Attorney Chris Richardson](https://woodrowwilsonhouse.org/testimonial/attorney-chris-richardson/) - America has its own problems but is making progress--taking one step backwards and two steps forward.
- [Dr. Johnathan Wharton](https://woodrowwilsonhouse.org/testimonial/dr-johnathan-wharton/) - Many Americans don't even realize America is full of so many paradoxes, but they are what makes America complicated but wonderful in diversity.
- [Michelle, Visitor to Suffrage Outside!](https://woodrowwilsonhouse.org/testimonial/michelle-visitor/) - While I knew the US and UK had strong connections in the fight for women's suffrage, I didn't realize how international the movement was until this [Suffrage Outside] exhibit!
