Citizens at Last
The Woman Suffrage Movement in Texas
Beginning October 28, The Falls on the Colorado Museum 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 open from October 28 to November 23. For more information about the exhibit or to arrange a group visit, contact the museum at [email protected]. 

Humanities Texas develops and supports diverse programs across the state, including lectures, oral history projects, teacher institutes, museum exhibitions and documentary films. For more information, please visit Humanities Texas online at http://www.humanitiestexas.org or call 512.440.1991.
