19th Amendment Rotunda Display

For the first time since 1952, the National Archives will welcome new, permanent document cases in the Rotunda as it unveils the original 19th Amendment ratified in 1920. While the Founding Documents—the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution, and Bill of Rights—established the nation’s path during the revolutionary and colonial period, the addition of the 19th Amendment to the Rotunda demonstrates the nation’s continued journey to expand rights to its citizens.
