The LACS Cultural Conference has gone virtual this year! We are celebrating the centenary of suffrage movements in both Luxembourg and the United States. Universal suffrage was adopted into law in Luxembourg in 1919, and women’s suffrage was ratified into law in the United States in 1920. Our expert speakers and their topics show how individuals worked together to create movements and built upon each other’s accomplishments. Join us as we dig deeper into the history of these suffrage movements and show the similarities and differences of events happening at the same time on different continents. There is a $5 registration fee for this conference to help offset technology costs. Everyone who registers will receive a free recording of the conference to watch at any time! Class size is limited- register today!
