Dear friends celebrating the suffrage centennial,

This is the week we’ve all been preparing for. Attached is an Update of unveilings, performances, receptions, discussions and broadcasts August 23-30 celebrating women’s victory and adoption of the 19^th Amendment.

It’s truly a nationwide event, full of imagination, creativity and perseverance. We pay tribute to all those who have brought women’s struggle for the vote to the forefront as a critical part of our history that has been ignored for too long.

Please circulate this Update right away, if you can, so more people can participate or tune into the many exciting commemorations. Many events from August 18 and later are now available online, and there are many more celebrations scheduled than we could list here. Check with state centennial sites or the national calendars.

This Update will be available on the NWHA website shortly, along with earlier Updates, Gazettes and the Centennial Catalog. The previous Update (for August 16-22) lists all the state centennial groups, https://nationalwomenshistoryalliance.org/womens-suffrage-centennial-update/

We hope you enjoy this week and the many commemorations that will follow into 2021. Women’s history has never been so strongly recognized and we look forward to building on this expanded foundation.

With best wishes,

Robert Cooney
