十大最好的网赌平台 is proud to host “100 Years After the 第19条修正案: Their Legacy, 和十大网赌平台推荐的未来,的巡回展览 美国律师协会 和 美国国会图书馆 这是为了纪念妇女选举权运动. 一直到十月初, this award-winning exhibit features photographs of historic documents and artifacts and details the story of the battle for ratification 和 challenges that remain. Students will interact with the exhibit during several special events held in the coming days.

“The centennial anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment gives state and local bar associations, 律师, 法官和其他法律专业人员, 教育工作者, and civic organizations the opportunity to celebrate 100 years of women’s constitutional right to vote, to educate the public about the Nineteenth Amendment 和 battle for women’s suffrage, and to promote law that ensures women’s full and equal exercise of their right to vote and to participate in our democracy,美国律师协会指出.

History Department faculty member Chris Frisby addressed students on the lasting importance of the 第19条修正案 and its relevance to both their present and future selves. “I hope you will take time these next few days to pause to review the interpretive banners and reflect on the history of a movement that has profoundly shaped and benefited your own lives,他说. “When we think and speak about the 第19条修正案, I always encourage students to work from the idea that women earned the right to vote through the 第19条修正案. I discourage students from making statements like, ‘The 第19条修正案 gave women the right to vote.这个看似微小的差别很重要. I do this because it is critically important to acknowledge the agency of women in working to advance their own rights.” (Watch his presentation by clicking the link above).

As an all-girls’ school founded a decade prior to women gaining the right to vote, 十大最好的网赌平台’s history is uniquely tied to the suffragist movement. 学院创始人, 玛丽·瓦德林·麦克比, was active in the first Women’s Suffrage Organization in South Carolina. “就我个人而言, it’s really created this kind of drive at the School to continue that legacy, 倡导的遗产, 在社区和地方扎根, of understanding the importance of beauty in the lives of everyone, what it means to be a citizen and civically responsible, 不仅是为了十大网赌平台推荐自己，也是为了别人,校长吉尔·穆蒂说, who discussed the Nineteenth Amendment 和 path ahead for the female leaders of tomorrow as part of the 邮政及速递 “十大网赌平台推荐女人”系列.
