The American Bar Association will mark the centennial anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote, with a special commemorative program on Monday. “The Great Unfinished Fight: A Conversation on the History and Legacy of the 19th Amendment” will be offered virtually from 11 a.m. to noon CDT. The program will feature Judge M. Margaret McKeown of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit and chair of the ABA’s Commission on the 19th Amendment, and Elaine Weiss, author of “The Woman’s Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote.” After the program, the commission will launch its #19for19th challenge to encourage individuals and organizations to put the legacies of the 19th Amendment into action. The event is free but registration is required.
