“You could hear a pin drop as Allyson Adams wove a magic spell and transported the audience back in time”.
-The Golden Voice, Helena, MT
“The sensitive and powerful presentation by Allyson Adams reminded us all of the dedicated and determined drive it took to get Women the right to vote.”
-Author, Roberta Cheney, The Madisonian
“Moment of Peace, the Journey of Jeannette Rankin” should be required viewing for all students- not just those in government or history classes. The message is cross-curricular: follow your conscience, even though other opinions stand in the way. Allyson Adams presentation and discussion with students about what they can do to make the world a more peaceful place will do more than entertain and inform-it will change lives.”
