  • 1920 – The Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution is ratified, guaranteeing women's suffrage. The Nineteenth Amendment (Amendment XIX) to the United States Constitution prohibits the United States and its states from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex, in effect recognizing the right of women to vote. The amendment was the culmination of a decades-long movement for women's suffrage in the United States, at both the state and national levels, and was part of the worldwide movement towards women's suffrage and part of the wider women's rights movement. The first women's suffrage amendment was introduced in Congress in 1878. However, a suffrage amendment did not pass the House of Representatives until May 21, 1919, which was quickly followed by the Senate, on June 4, 1919. It was then submitted to the states for ratification, achieving the requisite 36 ratifications to secure adoption, and thereby went into effect, on August 18, 1920. The Nineteenth Amendment's adoption was certified on August 26, 1920. Before 1776, women had a vote in several of the colonies in what would become the United States, but by 1807 every state constitution had denied women even limited suffrage.

  • The idea of being chained to a timeclock in a factory grated on Dean Price. "I hated being a prisoner to the system of employment for my livelihood," he says. "More than anything else in life, my desire was to become a prisoner of Mother Nature."
  • This particular story begins as the clock strikes midnight. Joe Price raced out of his house near the Red River to fetch a doctor for his laboring wife, Sybil Price.

  • Old copies of the Bonhi Weekly dating back to 1918 are brittle and yellowed with age now, but fortunately they were safely stored away by a wise librarian, Glenda Meador, who appreciated the history those crumbling pages represent.
