ABA’s Traveling Exhibit "100 Years After the 19th Amendment: Their Legacy, and Our Future.”
February 17 - 21, 2019
2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing and protecting women’s constitutional right to vote. The centennial is a great opportunity to commemorate a milestone of democracy and to explore issues of equal rights today. At the suggestion of Law School Dean Andy Perlman, the Moakley Law Library has arranged for the Law School to host the ABA’s Traveling Exhibit "100 Years After the 19th Amendment: Their Legacy, and Our Future.” The six-banner free-standing exhibit features historic photos and artifacts and details the story of the battle for ratification and outlines the challenges that remain. The exhibit was recently awarded a 2019 GDUSA American Graphic Design Award. The exhibit will be on display in the Great Hall at Sargent Hall during the week of February 17th. All members of the Suffolk Law School community are welcome.
