Votes for Women

 

It's the 100th Anniversary of the American Women's Right to Vote! I had that today was the day, but I may be a week or so off . . . In researching, I was surprised not all American Women were granted the right . . . African Americans' right to vote was not protected by federal law until the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In the President's Proclamation for the 100th Anniversary of the Ratification of the 19th Amendment: "The road to suffrage was long and challenging, but faith, fortitude, and resolute determination of those committed to this noble cause brought about a victory that continues to inspire today." #mrsbroamhats @phes_cougars #YouMatter #havecourage #wecandohardthings #iamregisteredtovote
