On August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment was formally adopted into the Constitution by proclamation of Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby.
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment and women’s constitutional right to vote, buildings and landmarks across the country will light up in purple and gold on August 26, 2020 as part of the Commission’s nationwide Forward Into Light Campaign, named in honor of the historic suffrage slogan, “Forward through the Darkness, Forward into Light.”
"The Suffragist, Vol. 1 No. 4, published on December 6, 1913, describes the symbolism of the colors. 'Purple is the color of loyalty, constancy to purpose, unswerving steadfastness to a cause. White, the emblem of purity, symbolizes the quality of our purpose; and gold, the color of light and life, is as the torch that guides our purpose, pure and unswerving.' Simplified, the tri-colors signified loyalty, purity, and life."
