On This Day...

suffragists.jpg On this day in 1920, the 19th amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified, giving American women the right to vote nearly 70 years after the first formal women's convention in Seneca Falls, New York.

House Bill 67, authored by Representative McClendon in the House and sponsored by Senator Van de Putte in the Senate during the 79th Legislative Session, designated August 26th as "Women's Independence Day."

So, it was 85 years ago today that things went to shit? I kid...I love.
