In recognition of the 95th anniversary of women’s suffrage, the Cecilton Branch of the Cecil County Public Library is remembering this seminal event in American political history with a program that examines the courageous struggle to win voting rights. On the exact day the vote ratifying the 19th Amendment to the Constitution took place, the library will reflect on the courageous campaign of strong, politically-minded women.
In addition to considering the national campaign, the program by Historian Mike Dixon will put the spotlight on the largely unexamined Cecil County story, considering the time when Maryland was on the frontline.
Join the library for this free program on the perfect day to examine the struggle that spanned 72 years as we honor
