Today - August 26th - we celebrate Women's Equality Day, a day that commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment, which gave women full voting rights under the law and calls attention to our continuing efforts toward full equality both domestically and internationally. 90 years ago today the largest single-day expansion of democracy took place in America. After a struggle of over 70 years, the dreams of the many women and men who fought for equal voting rights came true. Today we remember those who made great sacrifices so that women across the nation can vote today. In commemoration of this 90th Anniversary, No Limits has created a video celebrating the legacy of the suffragettes and their struggle to obtain equal rights. Join us as we explore the struggle. Allida Black and Liz Wing will take you to the Sewall-Belmont House and Museum in Washington, DC, one of the premiere women's history sites in the country, which houses an extensive collection of suffrage banners and artifacts. Then, back at the headquarters, I will share a few words about this special day. Enjoy the video - and Happy Women's Equality Day!
