Rightfully Hers Exhibition August 3 through August 31, 2020
Rightfully Hers is organized by the National Archives and Records Administration. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, the National Archives has launched a nationwide initiative and major traveling exhibition that explores the generations-long fight for universal woman suffrage. History Fort Lauderdale is pleased to host this exhibit August 3 through August 31, 2020.
"History Fort Lauderdale is committed to presenting significant and culturally relevant stories like Rightfully Hers that shape our great city,” said Patricia Zeiler, executive director of History Fort Lauderdale. “When we look at the extraordinary and impactful female leadership in office, today, it’s substantial to recognize how far we’ve come and how far we still need to go to ensure gender equality. We invite visitors of all ages to view this historical time capsule detailing the relentless struggle of diverse activists throughout U.S. history to secure voting rights for all American women."
