After dinner, we happened to drive by the Wyoming State Capitol Building, and while I already have a shot of the Wyoming Capitol in my State Capitol album, I took that shot 15 years ago on a cold day with a bad camera, and I hadn't yet worked out the format of the posts so that I'd include any history. I thought I might get a good night shot to replace the old picture, so here it is.
Wyoming was a little slow getting to statehood -- they didn't make it official until 1890 -- but they didn't mess around when it came to building a capitol. All the state's earliest settlements were pop-up towns built along the path of the Union Pacific's transcontinental railroad, and Cheyenne was the first of these pop-up towns, so they claimed the title of territorial capital right off the mark before anybody had time to argue with them even though they were about as far from a centralized location as a capital could be in a rectangular state. They cemented the claim by having the territorial legislature authorize the construction of this building starting in 1886, and they finished it in 1890, just under the wire of statehood.
Editor's Note, about that "Equality Command" in the title: For those from foreign lands, all the US states have official nicknames related to some fact or feature about the state -- Kentucky is the "Bluegrass State"; Illinois is the "Prairie State"; Indiana is the "Hoosier State," even though nobody knows what a Hoosier is. Wyoming is -- surprisingly, to anyone who knows anything about the place -- the "Equality State." This owes to the act of the territorial governor and legislature that gave women the right to vote in 1869, the very first state or territory in these United States to do that. They allowed women to serve on juries starting in 1870, and women could own property and serve as peace officers here before they could anyplace else. In 1925, Wyoming became the first state to elect a woman governor, and she served in this very building.
Sometimes, you'll encounter an internet troll who will try to use these historical facts to invent some illusory point about Republican states being progressive or some similar imaginary dumb thing ... sort of like the whole "Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan" argument. Yes, Democrats started the Klan a hundred years ago, but that was back when all the Southern racists were Democrats. They're all Republicans now, and they've moved out of the South and taken over Wyoming. If it came up today, I'm sure Wyoming would be the first state to repeal the 19th Amendment and eliminate women's right to vote.
And that does it for Day 13 of our 15-day trip. After this, I've got six more sets from this trip to post.

In July 2013 Equality Now issued Action 38.3 calling for enforcement of the anti-FGM law and justice in the case of 13-year-old Soheir al-Batea who died after Dr. Raslan Fadl allegedly performed female genital mutilation (FGM) on her at her father’s request in a clinic north-east of Cairo. Dr. Fadl was interrogated by prosecutors and released on bail pending investigation. After traveling to Soheir’s village in November to follow up on the case, Equality Now is concerned that the investigation is being sidelined by the authorities.
