Yesterday, the Columbus School for Girls honored the trailblazing women who fought for the right to vote, celebrating the passage of the 19th Amendment—a pivotal moment in American history that granted women a voice in our democratic process. Through a reenactment of the suffragist march, students walked through the school and community, embodying the spirit of those who championed women’s rights over a century ago. This powerful event connected students to a legacy of resilience, sacrifice, and civic duty that began in the 1840s and culminated in 1920, with the full realization of voting rights for all women taking decades more.

For the past few months, students have delved into the history of the suffragist movement, exploring the courage it took for women to stand up against an exclusionary system. School leaders emphasized the importance of this lesson in today’s world, where young girls continue to navigate societal expectations and challenges to their voices. By connecting history to the concept of civic duty, students are encouraged to think critically about their own roles in shaping the future and standing up for inclusion and representation.

This impactful day concluded with a tea party, where students discussed the issues that united the suffragists—issues that still resonate in the fight for equity and representation today.
