The Museum of the San Ramon Valley will be putting on two event to celebrate this event.
In 2020 we celebrate the centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment to the
Constitution. It states: The rights of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied
or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex.
On August 18,1920 the Tennessee legislature became the 36th and finalstate to ratify the 19th amendment. On August 26, 1920 the amendment was certified and added to the U.S. Constitution. The 19th amendment is sometimes called the Susan B Anthony amendment in honor of the suffragette leader.
