Suffrage Centennial Display Panels

2020 marked the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution — establishing the right to vote for women citizens (though discriminatory laws would continue to prohibit many women of color from voting until the Voting Rights Act of 1965).

Suffrage100MA partnered with the Commonwealth Museum to present “Suffragist of the Month” display panels from August 2017 through August 2020, the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. 

The first panels were unveiled at the Women’s Equality Day event, August 24, 2017. Panels are on display in the Commonwealth Museum and on the Commonwealth Museum’s website.
