Today, February 16 is Elizabeth Peratrovich Day in Alaska, marking the anniversary of the signing of an anti-discrimination bill passed by Alaska’s territorial legislature in 1945. The holiday honors the civil rights leader born Elizabeth Wannamaker in Petersburg July 4, 1911. She was instrumental in the passage of that law during a time when women were rarely a part of the political world and decades before the national movement for African American civil rights.
Lately Peratrovich has gained more national recognition with her face on a dollar coin issued by the U.S. Mint last year. She was also the subject of a Google doodle at the end of 2020 and a biography written for teens published in 2019. Long before that she was the focus of research for Petersburg resident, playwright and actor Diane Benson.

Fairbanks is forecast to be up 62,500 seats, a 126% increase over 2020. Regardless of the Canadian restrictions, ANC and FAI are determined to safely bring travelers to Alaska this summer and help Alaska’s tourism economy.
