In addition to the other worries related to the COVID virus, it’s likely that you are discouraged that your long planned activities to celebrate the suffrage centennial have not or may not come to pass. This is a big disappointment for us all. However, we are committed to recognizing the women’s suffrage centennial despite the challenges we face. While there is every reason to feel discouraged, we can embrace the behavior of the women we celebrate – and adapt and persevere! After consulting with many of you around the country, we believe it’s important to encourage the extension of the suffrage centennial through 2021. Many groups, individuals and institutions are already making plans. With this larger timeline in mind, we can continue throughout 2020 as much as possible, and then use 2021 to make up for the dislocation caused by the virus and even create new tributes. We can’t let the virus overwhelm recognition of women’s historic breakthrough. We can reclaim and make the most of the lost time. We all hope and plan for events and exhibits to reopen relatively soon. But regardless, since the 100th anniversary year lasts until August 26, 2021, we suggest that organizations begin now to consider and plan for a clear and deliberate extension of centennial-related commemorations into 2021. The sooner we let partners, institutions and the media know the better. We realize that some groups will not want to or be able to do this, but we anticipate that many will. Our two organizations will continue to share useful resources and information about how our community is coping and planning for the future. Please keep us updated on your activity. We appreciate your news, ideas, feedback and cooperation. In the meantime, there are countless centennial resources to take advantage of online. The NWHA’s “Women Win the Vote” Gazette has hundreds of links plus state and national news – download from NWHA site. Also point people to http://www.2020Centennial.org , where they can learn more. We are very grateful that the Rose Parade Float and so many suffrage centennial events took place during the first few months of 2020. And we know that, after this challenge passes, great opportunities lie ahead. Onward with each other, National Women’s History Alliance and the 2020 Women’s Vote Centennial Initiative Contact: RobertCooney@ebold.com Updated Suffrage Gazette Celebrates What Women Achieved In keeping with an expanded online presence and the promotion of the 2020 Women’s Suffrage Centennial, the National Women’s History Alliance is proud to announce Volume 2 of the “Women Win the Vote” Gazette, now available for free download above on this page. Despite the interruption of the pandemic, celebrations of women’s historic achievement in winning the 19th Amendment will not be silenced. Suffragists, too, faced a deadly virus – and a war – while trying to win the key state of New York in 1917. Their strength is our inspiration. This updated 28-page “Women Win the Vote” Gazette is a treasure chest. It is full of national news, leads to groups in every state and hundreds of links to exceptional women’s history and suffrage-related resources. There are listings and links to museum shows and websites, educational projects, toolkits, statues and memorials, historic sites, online exhibits and curriculum, special educational and voting projects, plays, musicals, films, videos, books, suffrage music, songwriters, artists, performers and more. “Women Win the Vote” also includes articles on Iroquois and Black women, short biographies of 100 Suffragists, and a host of products that celebrate the centennial. It would take hours to explore the treasures listed here, and to take in the many enriching stories and presentations that are now freely available online. This uncertain time offers the opportunity to explore our heritage further, to interest children and deepen our own understanding of what women, and men, went through before us to advance the common good. As we are so often reminded, our history is our strength. Thanks – Forward Together! Molly Murphy MacGregor, Founder & Executive Director Announcing the 2020 Women’s History Theme Valiant Women of the Vote Our 2020 theme celebrates the women who have fought for woman’s right to vote in the United States. In recognition of the centennial of the 19th Amendment, we will honor women from the original suffrage movement as well as 20th and 21st century women who have continued the struggle (fighting against poll taxes, literacy tests, voter roll purges, and other more contemporary forms of voter suppression) to ensure voting rights for all.
