Celebrating the centennial of women’s right to vote w @nhmla ‘s latest online exhibition and programming #RiseUpLA. >> nhm.org/RiseUp << The online exhibition developed by #NHMdesignStudio and the Exhibitions team at NHM ・・・ One hundred years ago, on this day on August 18, 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified, officially guaranteeing women the right to vote—but the fight was far from finished. With our new online exhibition “Rise Up L.A.: A Century of Votes for Women”, we invite you to hear the unique stories of women throughout Los Angeles history, engage in activities, and partake in related events, including: • What Issues Divided and United Female Voters? • Hear From Women Who Walked Out, Stood Up, or Sat Down • Vote on Issues That Defined Suffrage, and the 1920 Election • Register to Vote • And much more! Although our doors are currently closed, #RiseUpLA physically opens at #NHMLA on October 1 and will feature more than 100 objects—including political buttons, protest posters, fliers, and ephemera—and stories about choices women faced in a century of struggle.
