SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The tireless and passionate efforts of the suffragists, 
        their supporters, and other stakeholders contributed to the 
        movement to grant and protect the right of all women to vote.
            (2) On August 26, 1920, after a long campaign by 
        suffragists across the country, the United States Constitution 
        was amended with the 19th Amendment, granting women the right 
        to vote.
            (3) On June 24, 1924, all Native Americans were granted 
        citizenship, and by extension the right to vote.
            (4) In 1948, the legal victories of Native American 
        veterans granted protections for the right of all Native men 
        and women to vote.
            (5) On June 27, 1952, the Immigration and Nationality Act 
        of 1952 was enacted, granting citizenship to all individuals of 
        Asian descent, and by extension, the right to vote.
            (6) Enactment of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 on August 6, 
        1965, granted Black women protections to overcome the legal 
        barriers that prevented many from exercising their right to 
        vote even though all Blacks had been granted citizenship in 
        1868 with ratification of the 14th Amendment.
            (7) On August 6, 1975, the amendments to the 
        reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 removed 
        language barriers to mitigate discrimination against Hispanic, 
        Asian, and Native American voters.
            (8) It was not until March 29, 1961, when the 23rd 
        Amendment passed that women in Washington, DC, were allowed to 
        vote in all elections.
            (9) Women's history and the movement for women's rights 
        that the suffragists began extends beyond ratification of the 
        Nineteenth Amendment.
            (10) August 26, 2020, marks the centennial of the day that 
        women were granted the right to vote in America.
