On January 2, 2020, the City of Evanston will kick-off a year of hosting 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 19th amendment, women’s voting rights before and after the 19th, and its impact today.
Rightfully Hers will be at various locations around Evanston in 2020 and opens its run in the 2nd floor Gallery at the Lorraine Morton Civic Center on January 2, 2020. The exhibit’s visit to Evanston is sponsored by Women’s Vote 100 Evanston - a group of community partners - including the Frances Willard House Museum and WCTU Archives - that is planning for Evanston’s commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment.
