19th Amendment Centennial w/ Nancy Pelosi & Condoleezza Rice

Submitted by the Event Organizer

19th Amendment: Past, Present, and Future

This August marks the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote. It’s a powerful and important centenary, though ratification was an incomplete victory. Black women were still largely disenfranchised until the passage of the Voting Rights Act nearly 45 years later on August 6, 1965.

On August 6, join All In Together in partnership with The 19th, the George and Barbara Bush Foundation, the LBJ Presidential Library, the National Archives, the National Constitution Center, and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library for 19th Amendment: Past, Present, and Future.

This online program will begin with a panel of prominent historians, Professors Martha S. Jones and Lisa Tetrault, examining the history of the women’s suffrage movement. It will be followed by discussions with two iconic trailblazers who will address the fight for gender rights throughout our history and the challenges women face today: a keynote conversation with Speaker Nancy Pelosi followed by a separate discussion with Secretary Condoleezza Rice. A final panel will feature activists Brittany Packnett Cunningham and Abby Wambach, who will explore the opportunities and work that lies ahead for the next generation of women.
