rightfully hers
Through support from the Commission, the National Archives provided 2,500 free popup displays, titled Rightfully Hers, to schools and cultural institutions nationwide in honor of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment and women’s constitutional right to vote.
The National Archives delivered 1,600 of these popups to venues throughout the states in 2019, and the partnership between the Commission and the National Archives provided access to this important history to 2,500 more communities around the United States in 2020. The free Rightfully Hers displays are easy to assemble and were delivered to venues in July 2020 to display leading up to the official centennial in August and beyond. Participating venues received digital educational and press materials, and can keep and reuse the display.
“I am thrilled that these two institutions were able to work together to amplify women’s stories and share far and wide one of the most important moments of American history. The National Archives is home to some of the most powerful records of the women’s suffrage movement, including the 19th Amendment itself; through the Rightfully Hers popup displays, we have brought engaging and invaluable content from these materials to communities across the country.”
