5
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:24.000
Nineteenth Amendment became law. On what date is it celebrated
6
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:32.600
and what specific event does it commemorate. Question two, the

thirty sixth and final state needed to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment,
8
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.880
tipped the balance in August nineteen twenty after a young
9
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.000
legislator changed his vote following a letter from his mother.
10
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:48.359
Which state was it and who cast the decisive vote?

which nineteen seventy two US law, often summarized in thirty
14
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.439
seven words, prohibits sex discrimination in any education program or
15
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.719
activity receiving federal funding, reshaping opportunities for women and girls
16
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:25.719
in academics and athletics. Question five. Before the mid nineteen seventies,
17

many banks required a husband or father to co sign
18

00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:16.840
observance in nineteen seventy three. Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby
28
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:20.360
issued the certification, though many women of color still faced
29
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.240

Title ninth bars sex based discrimination across schools and colleges
47
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:35.000

48
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:39.360
it also addresses admissions, academic programs, and responses to sexual
49
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:43.840

of sex or marital status, allowing women to obtain credit
54
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.840

55
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:06.319
enforcement and broadened protected categories. That concludes today's five daily
