Columbia's Daughters
Tisha Dolton * & Friends
"And because Hughes figured prominently in the women’s fight for the vote, the event featured a selection of suffrage songs by Tisha Dolton and Sandi [Rhodes] of Columbia’s daughters. Dressed in period clothing, the women sang several a cappella selections with lyrics such as, 'votes for women sure to win, our struggle waxes strong ... votes for women keep it up, votes for women sure to win.'"

Columbia's Daughters
Lyrics: Harriet H. Robinson (1888) Music: "Hold The Fort"
Hark the sound of myriad voices,
Rising in their might!
'Tis the daughters of Columbia
Pleading for the right.
CHORUS:
Raise the flag and plant the standard,
Wave the signal still;
Brothers, we must share your freedom,
Help us, and we will.
Think it not an idle murmur,
You who hear the cry;
'Tis a plea for human freedom
Hallowed liberty!
(CHORUS)
O our country, glorious nation,
Greatest of them all!
Give unto thy daughters justice,
Or thy pride will fall.
(CHORUS)
Great Republic to they watchword,
Wouldst thou faithful be,
All beneath thy starry banner,
Must alike be free.
(CHORUS)
