–After a one-year delay due to COVID-19 restrictions, a special traveling exhibit from the Library of Congress has arrived in San Luis Obispo. The exhibit commemorates the centennial anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which guaranteed and protected women’s constitutional right to vote.
Presented by the San Luis Obispo County Bar Association, the exhibit is currently on display at the San Luis Obispo County Law Library (1050 Monterey Street, Suite #125) and will debut at the San Luis Obispo County Public Library (995 Palm Street) on May 4 before departing on Sept.18, 2021. The exhibit, “100 Years After the 19th Amendment: Their Legacy, and Our Future,” was curated by the Library of Congress and received a 2019 GDUSA American Graphic Design Award. The exhibit is free to view and open to the public.
The San Luis Obispo County Public Library and 16 other California libraries are inviting community members to watch a free documentary film screening and participate in a live discussion with George Takei on the Day of Remembrance.
