                           THE 19TH AMENDMENT

  (Mr. MORELLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MORELLE. Madam Speaker, this weekend I will join hundreds of 
activists and supporters for the Women's March in Seneca Falls, New 
York, home of the historic 1848 Women's Rights Convention that sparked 
the suffrage movement.
  We will celebrate the incredible strides we have made in the fight 
for women's rights and the many strong, courageous women who have 
shattered glass ceilings to achieve progress.
  The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th 
Amendment, guaranteeing and protecting women's constitutional right to 
vote. Now more than ever as we face new barriers threatening to roll 
back the rights of women, we must take up the mantle of Susan B. 
Anthony and the suffragists who came before us to continue to fight for 
the full equality that all women deserve. Together we will keep 
persisting.
