Through the end of August, the Rossville Public Library will host a new popup exhibition from the
National Archives, Rightfully Hers, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Rightfully Hers contains simple messages exploring the history of the ratification of the amendment, women’s voting rights before and after it passage, and its impact today. Despite decades of marches, petitions and public debate to enshrine a woman’s right to vote in the constitution, the 19th Amendment – while an enormous milestone – did not grant voting rights for all. The challenges of its passage reverberate to the ongoing fight for gender equity today. For more information, call the Rossville Public Library at 706-8661368 or check out the library’s Facebook page at Rossville Public Library or the library website, www.chrl.org. The library is at 504 Mcfarland Ave., Rossville, next to the Rossville Fire Department.
