In 1873, Susan B. Anthony was arrested for voting. She had walked into a polling place in Rochester, New York and cast a ballot — an act that was illegal for a woman at the time. At her trial, she was fined $100. She never paid it.
When asked to justify what she had done, she ended her powerful court statement with the simple phrase: resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.
She wasn't just fighting for the right to vote. She was making a statement about where authority comes from — and where it ends. The Declaration of Independence says government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed.
She did not consent. She died on March 13, 1906 at the age of 86 — fourteen years before the passage of the 19th Amendment. She never paid the $100 fine.
That was 1873. The words haven't aged a day.
Wear it as a reminder that standing up has always been the most American thing you can do.
