Join the Anthony Museum and our neighbors as we celebrate Equality Day on Wednesday, August 26, from 5pm – 8pm.

Women’s Equality Day marks the anniversary of the date Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby signed into law the 19th Amendment, granting voting rights to women throughout the United States. Representative Bella Abzug (D-NY) introduced a bill in 1971 designating August 26th of each year as Women’s Equality Day, commemorating woman’s continuing fight for equal rights. Read President Obama’s 2014 proclamation.

This year’s event at the Anthony Museum will feature a presentation by Dr. Ruth Holland Scott, the first woman to serve as president of the Rochester City Council, and will be co-sponsored by Unkl Moe’s BBQ.
