The Nineteenth Amendment with Neely Bruce and the Constitution Choir

  • State House 115 State Street Montpelier, VT, 05602 United States (map)

Join us at the Legislative Chamber at State House in Montpelier for the premier of Neely Bruce’s 19th Amendment. We are celebrating the one hundred year anniversary of women’s suffrage with a gendered reading of the Bill of Rights. How did the Nineteenth Amendment change women’s political status, were they now eligible to serve on juries? Given state restrictions on black voters, did the Nineteenth provide any relief for black women? The event is free and open to the public thanks to generosity of the Vermont Council on the Humanities and Friends of the State House.

Later Event: February 12
Debating Our Rights: Seventh Amendment
