Moment in History: 19th Amendment Anniversary

Today marks the 90th anniversary of the 19th Amendment!!! Why is this so important? Well for those that don't know the 19th amendment prohibits states from denying US citizens the right to vote...and so did one of the previous amendments. Know which one?

"The right of citizens of the United States shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex"

It was ratified on August 18, 1920
