Phillips met with Kenna Armstrong, a junior history education major from Oquawka, Ill., for the signing. Armstrong is the president of Women of Promise, a student-led women’s history and activism group on the �������� campus. The idea came from the American Association of University Women’s centennial celebrations and was put into motion by Dr. D’Ann Campbell, a history professor at C-SC and the president of the Canton chapter. Campbell also is the co-sponsor of Women of Promise.

The proclamation was read at a virtual meeting of the Canton Board of Aldermen meeting on Monday, Aug. 17.
