July 4th, 1776 - Thomas Jefferson

“Governments derive their power from the consent of the governed.”

Consent is given by the right to vote.

From 1776, it took:

144 years – for women to secure their right to vote through the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

148 years - for Native Americans to have the right to vote

167 years - for Chinese immigrants to have the right to vote

189 years - for the Voting Rights Act to guarantee African Americans the vote

PROJECT 19 interweaves American women’s struggle to ratify the 19th Amendment to secure the right to vote with the challenge of setting a skydiving world record.
