Beginning Oct. 28, the Falls on the Colorado Museum will present “Citizens at Last: The Woman Suffrage Movement in Texas,” an exhibition produced by Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920 ended the women’s suffrage movement and represented a great victory for American women in their quest for the right to vote as U.S. citizens. Texas was the first state in the South to ratify the 19th Amendment, a landmark moment for all who took place in the struggle for representation. “Citizens at Last” focuses on the 27-year campaign for votes in Texas.
“We’re excited to offer this exhibit that honors the Texan women who fought for the right to vote,” says museum chairman, Amanda Seim.
