"A woman living here has registered to vote—thereby assuming the responsibility of citizenship." Signs like these were distributed during “get out the vote” campaigns in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1919. Organizers for the city's Americanization Society hoped to register newly enfranchised women, promote voting, and encourage immigrants to become naturalized citizens so that they too could cast their ballots in upcoming elections. The small print on the sign told home owners to hang one of these signs in a window for "each woman registered." 🗳
Despite guarantees made by the 19th Amendment—approved by the U.S. House of Representatives #OTD in 1919—many women in the United States were unable to register or vote in elections until much later in the 1900s. American women often needed to go beyond the ballot to effect political change and advocate for their rights as citizens. 🇺🇸 Later today (Tuesday May 21, 1-2pm EDT) we’ll be welcoming scholars, activists, history makers to the museum for a National Youth Summit. With our featured speakers—Dolores Huerta, Naomi Wadler, Page Harrington, and Caty Borum Chattoo—we'll explore what today’s young people can learn from the #tactics women activists have used throughout our nation's history.
