Justice Joy V. Cunningham of the Illinois Appellate Court will be one of a number of speakers at the Women’s Equality Day event on Friday, August 26th.  Women’s Equality Day celebrates the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.

According to the National Women’s History Project, “…The observance of Women’s Equality Day not only commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment, but also calls attention to women’s continuing efforts toward full equality. Workplaces, libraries, organizations, and public facilities now participate with Women’s Equality Day programs, displays, video showings, or other activities….”
