Events Calendar

The Missouri History Museum will open a new special exhibit, ‘Beyond the Ballot: St. Louis and Suffrage’ on Saturday, April 4, 2020.

Women often portrayed as secondary characters in the city’s formation were actually key to the establishment, survival, and growth of St. Louis. Beyond the Ballot: St. Louis and Suffrage will showcase women who made an impact in St. Louis before gaining the vote in 1920.

Through an engaging mix of artifacts, images, media, and interactives, Beyond the Ballot will explore women’s unique roles in St. Louis history. One major element of the exhibit will trace the long history of the fight for woman’s suffrage in St. Louis and the events leading up to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920.

The staff at the Hacking Law Practice would like to celebrate individuals for their kindness and generosity. If you know an individual who has helped immigrants and other non-native individuals feel welcome and safe, whether that’s by having them over for dinner, including them in a recreational activity or some other way of making them feel welcomed, we want to reward them by paying for their next holiday meal.
If this sounds like someone you know, nominate them for the Embracing Different Cultures Nomination. Nominations will be accepted until August 30th.
