Beginning February 20, 2024, Palacios Area Historical Association will present “Citizens at Last: The Woman Suffrage Movement in Texas,” an exhibition produced by Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920 ended the women’s suffrage movement and represented a great victory for American women in their quest for the right to vote as U.S. citizens. Texas was the first state in the South to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment, a landmark moment for all who took place in the struggle for representation. “Citizens at Last” focuses on the 27-year campaign for votes in Texas.
Based on the book Citizens at Last: The Woman Suffrage Movement in Texas, the exhibition uses archival photographs, newspaper clippings, cartoons, cards and texts to display the struggle in Texas.
The exhibition will be available to the public from February 20 to March 15, 2024. For more information about viewing hours or to arrange group visits, contact Katie Hutto at 361.972.1148.
