#WomensEqualityDay 104 years ago, The 19th Amendment was adopted and officially became part of the U.S. Constitution. Did you know that the final vote went to 24-year-old Harry T. Burns, the youngest member of the Tennessee General Assembly? During the initial vote, he wore an anti-suffragist pin and voted against the amendment in what would be a tie vote. A letter from his MOTHER, Febb Burn, had been delivered to him in the chamber before revoting. It read: “Dear Son, … Hurray and vote for Suffrage and don’t keep them in doubt. I noticed Chandlers’ speech, it was very bitter. I’ve been waiting to see how you stood but have not seen anything yet…. Don’t forget to be a god boy and help Mrs. Catt with her “Rats.” Is she the one that put rat in ratification, Ha! No more from mama this time. With lots of love, Mama.” When revoting, Burns voted “Aye," which made Tennessee the 36th state needed for the 19th Amendment to be adopted as a Constitutional Amendment. But before Burns's vote determined the fate of the 19th Amendment, the success of ratification was a huge movement of people working together who lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience for a century to achieve it. Even after that, it took 60+ years for ALL women to gain the right to vote legally.
