NJ Secretary of State Hon. Tahesha Way will then speak on the Amendment’s 100th Anniversary as well as provide current perspective on women’s voting and engagement.
Following the dinner break, Hon. Harriet Derman, JAD (Ret.) will moderate a panel including Arlene Q. Perez, Esq., Thomas Prol, Esq., Shanti Narra, Esq. and Middlesex County Clerk Elaine Flynn, discussing the 19th Amendment’s milestone, the legacy of post 1920 efforts to expand voting rights and the obstacles women have faced along the way.
The ABA Standing Committee on the Law Library of Congress has launched a 19th Amendment traveling exhibit, “100 Years After the 19th Amendment: Their Legacy and Our Future.” The six-banner free-standing exhibit features historic photos and artifacts and details the story of the battle for ratification and outlines the challenges that remain.
