Celebrating the 19th Amendment

Women's voices matter, the fight goes on. 

Passed by Congress June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th amendment granted women the right to vote. The 19th amendment guarantees all American women the right to vote. Achieving this milestone required a lengthy and difficult struggle; victory took decades of agitation and protest.

Black Women,The Right To Vote And The 19th Amendment



"In 1920, the United States ratified the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. But the struggle to attain that right was a long one. It was fraught with violence, political turmoil and social upheaval.
Many of the earliest activists in the women's suffrage movement didn't even live to cast their ballots. And Black women, who were among the first suffragists, continued to face barriers to voting for decades." NPR
