On August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment became law. USPS issued this commemorative stamp in August 2020 to celebrate the centennial of the Amendment’s ratification. Taking inspiration from historical photographs, artist Nancy Stahl depicts suffragists marching together. Their attire and banners represent the official colors of the National Woman’s Party — purple, white and gold. The fight for women's suffrage did not end in 1920 with the 19th Amendment. Many women—including African American women, Native American women, and Asian American women—were still denied access to the ballot. ©USPS; all rights reserved. #OTD #19thAmendment
