Join us on Women's Equality Day as the Office of Human Rights & Equity presents a screening and post-screening discussion of The 19th Amendment - A Woman's Right to Vote.
This award-winning film from the Leonore Annenberg Institute for Civics of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania traces the decades long fight for women’s suffrage, featuring key figures, legal milestones, and the historic ratification of the 19th amendment. Join us for a post-screening discussion exploring the connections between the abolitionist and suffrage movements, the inextricable relationship between race and gender in the history of women’s rights, and the continued impact of this history on our modern voting landscape.
Refreshments will be provided.
This screening is being presented as part of the Howard County Office of Human Rights & Equity's Reel Enlightenment Series.
