WHO WE ARE:
SuffrageCentennials.com is a multi-media platform about local, state, and national suffrage celebrations. Regular postings, plus video and audio highlights.
The National Federation of Press Women honored SuffrageCentennials.com in 2015 with a national media award. The year 2020 was the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment to the US Constitution that guaranteed US women the right to vote. It took longer to make sure that local and state restrictions were removed. This year it’s the slow-moving but eternal effort of keeping alive the tale of our ancestors and the persistence of US citizens.
WHAT IS OUR FOCUS?
Last year 2023 was the 100th anniversary of US women working on the campaign for an equal rights amendment to the US Constitution.
