Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. —19th Amendment to the United States Constitution In 1920, after decades of tireless activism by countless determined suffragists, American women were finally guaranteed the right to vote. The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. It was ratified by the states on August 18, 1920 and certified as an amendment to the US Constitution on August 26, 1920. Developed in partnership with the National Park Service, this publication weaves together multiple stories about the quest for women’s suffrage across the country, including those who opposed it, the role of allies and other civil rights movements, who was left behind, and how the battle differed in communities across the United States. Explore the complex history and pivotal moments that led to ratification of the 19th Amendment as well as the places where that history happened and its continued impact today. 0-31857-0 Cover Barcode-Arial.pdf 1 2/17/20 1:58 PM $14.95 ISBN 978-1-68184-267-7 51495 9 781681 842677 The National Park Service is a bureau within the Department Front cover: League of Women Voters poster, 1920. of the Interior.

    PUBLISHED OCCASIONALLY BY THE FRIENDS OF THE BANCROFT LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA 94720 No. 75 June 1980 Johan Hagemeyer, Photographer "There is a more rapid sequence of rediscovery in photography than in any other art," claims Susan Sontag in On Photography. A case in point is the work of Johan Hagemeyer. Rela­ tively unknown in the contemporary history of photography, and then only in the context of his friend Edward Weston, Hagemeyer is slowly achieving singular recognition. In­ cluded last year in the Whitney Museum's "Photography" exhibition, and in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's "Califor­ nia Pictorialism" show in 1977, Hagemeyer's prints will only become more important for the very personal vision they explore. The Bancroft Library is fortunate to hold the largest archive of Hagemeyer's work—some eleven hundred photographs, ten thousand negatives, and a variety of personal records, presented by the artist's nephew, David C. Hagemeyer, in 1963. The collection includes many landscapes and still lifes, but the majority of the prints are portraits, a selection of which is included in the Library's current exhibition, Edward Weston by Johan Hagemeyer.

  • Pioneers in the Fight for the Inclusion of Chinese Students in American Legal Education and Legal Profession
    02-Chen.docx (Do Not Delete) 11/22/201511:45 AM Pioneers in the Fight for the Inclusion of Chinese Students in American Legal Education and Legal Profession Li Chen † In 1878, the first Chinese student, Sit Ming Cook, sought entry into an American law school and was rejected because of his race. Chang Hong Yen, the second Chinese law student, was more fortunate. In 1884, Chang journeyed to New York City to embark on his legal education at Columbia Law School. A former Chinese Government Scholar, Chang had nine years of preparatory and collegiate education in the United States. In June 1886, after two years of full-time study, Chang became the first Chinese person to graduate from an American law school. Unfortunately, his race became a formidable barrier for him to gain admission to the New York bar. By dint of resourcefulness and determination, Chang fearlessly fought against racial discrimination for inclusion in legal profession. In May, 1888, two years after graduating from Columbia Law School, Chang successfully overcame all hurdles and became the first Chinese to be admitted to practice law in America. Two years later, Chang relocated to California in order to practice law among the Chinese community. When he sought admission to the California bar, the California Supreme Court denied his admission because of his race, finally admitting him posthumously 125 years later. Chang's aspiration was again thwarted by his race. Sit and Chang's courageous, yet largely unknown and untold struggles have paved the way for early Chinese Americans to achieve improved successes in the legal field since the early part of 20th century.
