Join us at the University of Iowa for a year of events reflecting on the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage and the right to vote.
What we are commemorating:
The 19th Amendment made it illegal to deny the vote based on a person’s sex. However, as historians like Sharon Harley vividly remind us, not all women benefited equally from the amendment. For Black women and people of color, racism remained an unjust, unyielding obstacle to the vote and to full citizenship; the struggle for full representation continues today. Therefore, we are planning and helping to advertise events that critique as well as commemorate the fight for the Amendment and its aftermath.
NOTICE 3/25/20: Related Spring 2020 courses are still being offered, but all of the public events have been canceled.
