We stand in the center in this photo, after reminders of the fight for suffrage decades before the amendment, including winning the vote in Utah 50 years before the 19th Amendment passed, and beyond us commemorates more steps toward universal suffrage such as the Civil Rights Act. #utahwomenlead #utahheritage #womensvote100 #suffragecentennial #suffrage100
