Ohio Suffrage Centennial

This project is a GitHub Pages-hosted Jekyll website intended to help people plan, find, and spread the word about events related to Ohio's connections to the 19th amendment and women's right to vote.

Our purpose is to inspire people to learn about and celebrate the 100th anniversary of US women's right to vote throughout the 2019-2020 centennial year and beyond.

The project repo is https://github.com/OhioSuffrageCentennial/ohiosuffragecentennial.
