100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment Gov. Beshear and Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman on Tuesday marked the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution with a proclamation honoring those who fought to ensure that women secured the right to vote. "We honor the approval of the 19th Amendment, and recognize the contributions made by Kentucky women and men to its ratification, including Nettie Depp, a pioneer in education who will become the first woman to be presented with a statue in a place of honor in the State Capitol," the Governor's proclamation reads, in part. "And we resolve to remember their struggle and celebrate the history of the movement, and commit to the full equality for women." For the complete text, read the full proclamation here: governor.ky.gov/attachments/100thAnniv.of19thAmendmentProclamation (PDF). After signing the proclamation, Gov. Beshear said he will give the pen he used as a gift to his daughter, Lila, as a reminder of the historic victory and advancement of women's rights. "I'm proud of our Kentucky men and women who made that historic achievement possible. In fact, in 1920, Kentucky had the highest women's voter turnout in the nation at 57%," said Lt. Gov. Coleman. "To every woman in Kentucky of voting age, this year, I challenge you to join me in beating that record set 100 years ago. "We've made amazing strides - women can realize goals and serve in roles that previously have been far out of reach. However, we still have much further to go. We must recognize and celebrate women of color and of diverse backgrounds for us to fully be inclusive and realize our potential as a society. We must fight for equal pay for equal work. And we must continue to support young women and encourage them to follow their dreams, whatever they may be, because nothing - absolutely nothing - can or should stop a determined woman," said Lt. Gov. Coleman. In addition, the Governor was scheduled to take part in a ceremony at 8 p.m. in downtown Lexington along with Mayor Linda Gorton to dedicate a new sculpture, named "Stand." Due to inclement weather, the event was postponed until Wednesday evening. The bronze work depicts five silhouetted images of the suffragists who fought for women's right to vote in the early 20th century. This story was posted on 2020-08-18 17:27:10
