August 18 – Her Flag: A Suffrage Celebration

Join TPAC for a live look-in via Zoom as artist and activist Marilyn Artus sews the final stripe of her nationwide Her Flag art project to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment and voting rights for women in the United States. As Artus completes the project in War Memorial Auditorium, near the State Capitol where a historic tie-breaking vote made Tennessee the final and deciding state to ratify the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, TPAC’s Kristin Horsley will lead a discussion about the long fight for women’s voting rights and where it stands 100 years later. Horsley will be joined by Debbie Gould (League of Women’s Voters of Nashville), Andrea Blackman (Special Collections, Nashville Public Library), Rebecca Price (Chick History), and Tennessee artist Higgins Bond to celebrate the completion and final reveal of Artus’ project.
