Suffrage Receives Colby's Signature Dallas Morning News, August 27, 1920 Bainbridge Colby signed the Certificate of Ratification announcing that the Nineteenth Amendment had become a part of the Constitution of the United States. The signing of the proclamation took place at Secretary Colby's residence...without ceremony of any kind, and issuance of the proclamation was unaccompanied by the taking of movies or other pictures, despite the fact that the National Woman's Party...had been anxious to be represented by a delegation of women and to have the historic event filmed for public display and permanent record. |
