The Erie County Bar Association is hosting Law Day 2021 featuring keynote speaker, Amy Walter.
The Law Day 2021 theme is
“Your Vote, Your Voice, Our Democracy: The 19th Amendment at 100.”
In 2020, the United States commemorated the centennial of the transformative constitutional amendment guaranteeing that the right of
citizens to vote would not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex. American women fought for, and won,
the vote through their voice and action.
