Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Boston.
I'm your host Melissa, and it's Friday, July 19th.
You'll be interested to know.
176 years ago, today in 1848, the women's suffrage movement began in the United States.
In the 1820s and 1830s, women became active in various reform groups.
They challenged the cult of true womanhood, which confined women to domestic roles.
This led to the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, where activists like Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and Lucretia Mott advocated for women's rights, including the right to vote.
The struggle continued through the 19th century, culminating in the ratification of the 19th
Amendment on August 18, 1920, which granted women the right to vote.
So now you know.
And now, it's time for the weather report.
It looks like we're in for a sunny day, with a high near 84 and wind of 6 to 8 mph.

the brand's image.

And now back to the show.
Let's talk science.
NASA has canceled plans to launch the Viper moon rover due to supply chain and budget restraints.
The Viper rover was part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload program.
This small rover was designed to search for water in the moon's polar regions.
Nikola Fox, NASA's missions administrator, emphasized that the mission team's diligent work
through the pandemic was not in question.
Due to delays, the launch would have been pushed to September 2025,
increasing costs and affecting other missions.
However, three of Viper's instruments will still reach the moon on other missions.
And in entertainment news, John Hamm is back, and it's very, very cool.
The former Mad Men star is a double Emmy nominee this year,
recognized for his performances in The Morning Show and Fargo.
Hamm played tech billionaire Paul Marks in The Morning Show,
and villainous Sheriff Roy Tillman in Fargo.
This marks his 17th and 18th Emmy nominations, previously winning for Mad Men in 2015.
Hamm believes these nominations feel different in today's peak TV landscape.
Currently filming Your Friends and Neighbors, Hamm is thrilled and ready to enjoy the accolades.
Well, alrighty, folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the American writer and activist, Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
And she said,
We are the only class in history that has been left to fight its battles alone, unaided by the ruling powers.
White labor and the free black men had their champions, but where are ours?
Right here, Elizabeth. Right here.
I'll be your huckleberry.
