Description:
Did you
know that Minnesota can claim the first woman to vote in the nation, after the
passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920? And that we also hold the current record
for the highest voter turnout in the nation? Come learn more about Woman
Suffrage in Minnesota, and how our voting rights continue to expand - and be
challenged - today. Michelle Witte, Executive Director of the League of Women
Voters Minnesota, will share with us some of the unique history related to the
"Votes for Women" movement here in our State, how that movement affected women
of color, and how the League of Women Voters continues to live out the mission
of empowering voters and defending democracy as a nonpartisan, civic engagement
organization, with 35 community-based chapters here in MN.
The CLE program will run from 3:00 pm to
4:00 pm.
