The Helena League of Women Voters sponsored a march and commemoration of the passage of the 19th Amendment on August 18, 2020.  League members dressed in white, and carried "Equal Rights Amendment - It's Time" posters and yellow roses in honor of the suffragists 100 years ago on August 18 who succeeded in getting Tennessee to be the final state needed to ratify the 19th Amendment extending the right to vote to women. 

League members walked around the Capitol block, then filed into the rotunda to sit in socially-distanced chairs.   Lt. Governor Mike Cooney and Assistant Attorney General Rafe Greybill each gave brief remarks to the group to honor the event. 

League members from the Missoula and Bozeman Leagues drove in for the event and joined the Helena Leaguers.  

League members carried yellow roses,  and placed them around the statue of Jeannette Rankin in the state Capitol building.  Yellow roses were the flower of the suffragists 100 years ago that they wore to show their support for votes for women.
