Elizabeth Freeman (center) (holding flag) "Elizabeth Freeman (1876-1942), was a suffragist and civil rights activist. Her name, and signature, is often given as "Elisabeth". [1] "The family emigrated to the United States and the family lived on Long Island in New York, where her mother, Mary Hall Freeman, worked for an orphanage.
