It's Women's Equality Day! Celebrate by making sure your registration information is current, and urging someone who recently became eligible to vote to register by Oct. 5 so they can vote in November. Here's the link to do both: vrsws.sos.ky.gov/ovrweb/govo…
On Women's Equality Day, how many suffragists can you name? Read more in this article from @MaggieMenderski and @courierjournal. #WomensEqualityDay

100 years ago, the 19th Amendment was ratified, granting women the right to vote. But women of color were mostly left out.
Today, millions continue to be disenfranchised.
The work of suffragists is not over until all Americans have the right to vote.
From the Mayor's office: The lighting of the “Stand” sculpture has been postponed until 8 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 19, because of rain. We apologize for any inconvenience.
