BCE to The Suffragettes
09-27-1882 – 06-04-1983 Adele Goodman Clark – Born in Montgomery, Alabama. The family moved to Richmond, Virginia in 1894.
At the Art School of Richmond, she met fellow artist Nora Houston who became her life partner until her death in 1942. Clark’s activist career began in 1909, when she and 18 other women, including Houston, founded the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia. When the Art Club of Richmond dissolved in 1917, Clark and Houston opened a studio together which offered art history, painting, and drawing classes. In the months before the 1920 elections, when there were threats and rumors of sham challenges against black women voters, Clark and Houston invited black leaders to their studio to plan ways to confront the issue. They decided that the white suffragists would patrol polling locations in cars. Clark and Houston continued to be involved in the interracial movement after the 1920 election. Both women also participated in art-related activism, campaigning for the resurrection of the Academy of Sciences and Fine Arts, which opened in 1930. It later became the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

It had been roughly a decade since the last successful variety shows (The Carol Burnett Show, The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, and Cher) had gone off the air, and it was regarded as a gamble to try to revive the genre. In 1976, Parton had starred in a successful syndicated variety show, also entitled Dolly, that she left after one season due to overwork and creative disputes; ABC offered Parton more creative control for this series and promoted it as “Dolly… Dolly’s way.”
