To celebrate the suffrage centennial, the South Dakota Cultural Heritage Center will have an exhibit, “The Right is Ours: Women Win the Vote” in the Observation Gallery that runs through Election Day on Nov. 3, 2020.

The exhibit focuses on the suffragist movement, starting with the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention — the first women’s rights convention — and ends with the ratification of the 19th Amendment. There is much more to the suffrage story that we will share in years to come.
