During 2013 when we started publishing here about Suffrage Centennials during 2020, there was precious little on the web about the 100 years since the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution in 1920. Now, expect to find alerts and reminders everywhere, such as the AARP publication. That’s only one of many many examples.

CONTROVERSY—on the Six O’Clock Program of News Channel! from Vimeo.

NEWS: The Gazette for the National Women’s History Alliance is preparing its next issue highlighting the diversity of the first wave of the women’s rights movement in the US.

Historic road markers funded by the Pomeroy Foundation are in the planning stages for 2020 across the nation. Some have already been installed under this innovative program.

As 2020 approaches, more programs are being announced by groups and organizations across the nation. The buildup has been accelerating over the past few years from behind the scenes by individuals and organizations. This has been a recognition of the importance of not letting the centennial observance of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution pass without some awareness of where we have been and where we are headed.

And along with this comes criticism that includes how the movement wasn’t perfect, that it should have been better, with more volunteers, more diversity, more funding. And there has also been a recognition that without the first wave, there couldn’t have been a second wave, and so on. One measure of the momentum is in the number of local, state, and national organizations hopping on the bandwagon for 2020.

One digital platform noting this has been Suffrage Wagon News Channel, now in its 10th year of publication. Suffrage Wagon is a sister site of SuffrageCentennials.com

Women have been marching for their rights for over 100 years. And that’s what the Long Island Woman Suffrage Association is doing this year. They will be seen and heard.
