Happy 190th birthday, Houston! From energy and medicine to technology, culture and the arts, Houston has grown into a diverse global city where people come to build a better future. It was wonderful joining young Houstonians at The Heritage Society to celebrate our history, our progress and the limitless possibilities ahead.

Thank you to League of Women Voters of Houston for cohosting . Special guests included the offices of Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, Harris County Commissioner Lesley Briones, and Twila Carter City of Houston Council Member At-Large, Position 3. 🎤 Our speakers—Nancy Sims, political consultant and University of Houston lecturer; Eve Myers, VP of Study & Advocacy of LWVH; and Rae Bryant, founder of the Houston Suffragists Project shared the often overlooked contributions of women whose work, advocacy, and leadership helped define the nation across generations.
We also played Dolly Parton’s music video of her song “19th Amendment” as a celebration of her life and her dedication to expressing and financially supporting human rights and education.
Guests from League City Historical Society and Daughters of the American Revolution joined us too.
We went live on Instagram if you would like to view the 3 presentations.
