Women’s Equality Day commemorates decades of work by women who organized, petitioned, and picketed to win the right to vote. The suffragettes’ work did not bear fruit until 1920 with the adoption of the 19th Amendment, which prohibits states and the U.S. government from denying citizens the right to vote on the basis of sex. This work was just the beginning of the fight for equality because it took another 45 years to extend voting rights to Black men and women with the adoption of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. ALFDP: The Association of Law Firm Diversity Professionals applauds the work of all who work to advocate for #diversity, #equity, and #inclusion.
