Celebrating Women’s History Month
March 2021
Theme: “Valiant Women of the Vote: Refusing to be Silenced”
Each year, March is designated Women’s History Month by Presidential proclamation. The month is set aside to honor women’s contributions in American history. President Jimmy Carter issued the first Presidential Proclamation in 1980 as a week.

Harrell Black Heritage Museum staff joins in the celebration of the vital role of women in American history.
