Women's Equality Day is observed in the United Sates on August 26th each year. On this day 105 years ago, U.S. Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby certified the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution. "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex,” it reads.
While the 19th Amendment enabled most white women to vote, that wasn't the case for many women of color. Black women were largely barred from voting until the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Native Americans of any gender were barred from voting until the Snyder Act of 1924, and even then, many Western states (such as Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico) didn't allow Native Americans to vote until the 1940s and 1950s. Female citizens married to immigrants lost their right to vote if that immigrant was ineligible to become a citizen. Asian American immigrant women and their descendents were generally denied the right to vote until 1952, when the Immigration and Nationality Act allowed them become citizens.
To honor the ongoing quest for gender equality and equity, please enjoy these books.

Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

This video by "Kalifornia Dronin" on YouTube flies over what remains of the town of Cement, California.
From 1902-1927, the Pacific Portland Cement Company owned and operated a company town named "Cement" for its staff to live and work in. At one point, it grew to over 500 people, making it larger than Fairfield, Vacaville, and Suisun City combined at the time! Served by the Cement, Tolenas & Tidewater Railroad Company until its limestone desposits were depleted and business slowed to a trickle, the town of Cement was sold off in 1927, and is now considered a ghost town within the city limits of Fairfield, California.

You'd be amazed to see what we can make with twine, an old sheet, and some cutout letters!
In the 2025-2026 school year, our students will be invited to make book page roses, junk journals, graduation hat decorations, and more, all free for Falcons who want to participate!
