Griffis<\/p><\/div>\u201cWe need to celebrate the centennial of the 19th Amendment,\u201d Griffis said. \u201cIt was not a perfect victory, as we know women of color were still denied their legal right to vote. The 19th Amendment, women\u2019s direct connection to political power, changed our nation forever.\u201d <\/p>\n

Her talk will focus on the amendment that prohibits states and federal government from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex. The amendment was ratified Aug. 18, 1920, and officially adopted eight days later.<\/p>\n
