231 - Women's Right to Vote
El Derecho Femenino para Votar

The Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution became law on August 26, 1920. Eighty Eight years later we had a woman run for the office of the presidency of the United States and she came close to wining. Hillary Clinton, today, delivered a powerful speech in support of Barrack Obama and as such could end up helping Obama become the next president of the United States. Below are some pictures of a small rally in Sacramento in support of the Nineteenth Amendment which became law, and finally made it where women could vote in the Presidential election of that year. Also a youtube video that caught my eye. I thought about posting David Bowie's Suffragette City song but I think they deal with two different issues.












La enmienda diecinueve de la constitución de los estado unidos llego a ser ley en agosto 26, 1920. Casi 88 años despues, por primera vez, tuvimos una mujer que tomo parte en casi ser elegida la primer mujer presidente. Hoy, Hillary Clinton, dio un discurso potente y quizas esto podra levantar a Barrack Obama ser nuestro siguiente presidente. Quizas. Arriba unas fotos sacadas en Sacramento de un desfile para dar apoyo al Sufragio en los eeuu. También, aunque sólo está en ingles, un video de youtube que da un poco de esta historia. Al fin, hay una canción de David Bowie llamada Suffragette City que me gusta pero creo que no es acerca del mismo Sufragio.
