The Power of Movements: The Struggle to Pass the Nineteenth Amendment and Beyond
In this third webinar in the Power to the People series from the Center for Civic Education, Lisa Tetrault, associate professor in the Department of History at Carnegie Mellon University, explains the struggle to pass the Nineteenth Amendment and the continuing efforts of Americans to ensure their access to the polls. This year is the one-hundredth anniversary of the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment.
This webinar is designed especially for civics, government, and U.S. history teachers who want to understand the women's suffrage movement better, but everyone will find it informative.
