On August 18th, 1920, the U.S. ratified the 19th amendment, granting women the right to vote. Well… supposedly, anyway. In reality, It took many years before women of all races were able to exercise this right. Join us on the eve of the 100th anniversary for a virtual event featuring musical performances, poetry, theater, and more. We will both celebrate and interrogate the history of the 19th amendment and what it means for human rights and women nationwide.
The 19th: Whose Vote Is It Anyway? is curated by a trio of multidisciplinary artists, Paige Hernandez (Associate Artistic Director of Everyman Theatre), Madeline Sayet (Executive Director, Yale Indigenous Performing Arts Program) and Nicole A. Watson(Associate Artistic Director of Round House Theatre)
This event is free but registration is encouraged. Guests who register will receive a digital program and an event reminder on August 17.
