Carteret County Woman's Equality Day
Carteret County Woman's Equality Day
It's been more than one hundred years since the 19th amendment granted (some) women the right to vote on August 18, 1920. Initially introduced in 1878, it took 42 years for the U.S. Government to pass the amendment granting white women suffrage, and it wasn't until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 passed that Black women gained that same right.
And in 1973, a resolution was introduced by Congresswoman Bella Abzug of New York was passed, designating August 26 as Women's Equality Day,
