"100 years ago today, Illinois joined Wisconsin and Michigan as the first states to ratify the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote. As we celebrate this historic day, we honor the brave suffragettes who continue to serve as an inspiration to so many of us."

"We must also remember that, though this was a historic moment of progress in our nation's history, it didn't end the struggle for voting rights -- especially for women of color. We still have work left to do to ensure that every American enjoys equal access to the ballot box."
