100 years ago today, Congress passed the 19th Amendment and sent it to the states to ratify, which they did in 1920.
1920 was not a universal victory: African American women, who organized for suffrage along with basic human rights, still faced barriers exercising their right to vote. Native American women did not have citizenship until 1924, and Puerto Rican women gained full suffrage in 1935. African Americans and other people of color could not vote unimpeded until 1965 with the Voting Rights Act. Today, restrictive voter identification laws target marginalized groups.
This sign in our @国立アメリカ歴史博物館 was designed to be placed in the window of a home so that all who passed would know that the woman within had exercised her right under the 19th amendment and registered to vote. It also served as a reminder to other women to do the same. #BecauseOfHerStory #19thAt100
