2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which recognized women’s right to vote. On paper, it seemed to expand voting rights to all women, but in practice, it would be decades before Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) would be able to exercise that right. The centennial commemoration provides an opportunity to review the uneven expansion of voting rights in America. This timeline denotes milestones in that process, highlighting those who were enfranchised, and noting those who were not. It is a resource intended to support ongoing education about voting rights and what that means for equity and equality in this country.
