FRAMINGHAM It s down to two.
On Friday, the School Committee released its finalists for what will be the new name for the Woodrow Wilson Elementary School: Harmony Grove Elementary School and Ruby Bridges Elementary School.
Harmony Grove was an area on the shores of Farm Pond where anti-slavery and suffragist rallies were held. Its natural amphitheater hosted rallies and speeches from famous social justice activists to promote women s rights and the anti-slavery movement, according to a presentation for next week s School Committee meeting.
From 1846 to 1865, it served as a gathering place for the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, which held a large anti-slavery rally there every Fourth of July. Then, on July 4, 1874, there was a suffrage convention there with speakers questioning the Declaration of Independence, as women had to pay taxes even though they could not vote.
