On August 18, 1920, Tennessee became the last state needed to ratify the 19th Amendment, which guaranteed and protected a woman’s constitutional right to vote.
To mark this special occasion, we are asking all Bar Members to wear white on Tuesday, August 18th, and if possible, make a $5 donation. All donations will be given to Ruth’s Place — an emergency women’s shelter for women in Luzerne County.
To Donate by check: Please mail a check payable to the “Wilkes-Barre Law and Library Association” to the Law Library at W-BLLA, Room 23, 200 North River Street, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711. Be sure to note the donation is for Ruth’s Place on the check.
