Celebrating the 19th amendment
The Ohio Northern University Graphic Design Program hosted a poster design workshop on Oct. 21 focusing on the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment.
The 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote. It was the first legislation for women’s voting rights. Not until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 were voting rights of all women protected and enforced.
Some of the poster examples are part of this story, taken from the ONU Art and Design Facebook.
Empowering the Women’s Vote poster workshop, in partnership with the Ohio Northern Institute for Civics and Public Policy, invited students to design nonpartisan posters to commemorate the beginning of 100 years of women’s voting rights.
This campaign aspired to not only support voter participation, but to also serve as a backdrop for dialogue and examination of the history of voting rights and women’s fight for equality.
