What is Liberty Amendments Month?
Liberty Amendments month kicked off in 2021 to bring our community together to foster mutual respect and understanding and to celebrate the Constitutional Amendments that give all citizens a say in how they are governed, regardless of their culture or station in life. The month commemorates the passage of the 13th, 14th, 15th and 19th Amendments, which granted full rights to citizens who were previously excluded from the U.S. Constitution.
Last year, 22,000 people attended more than 65 educational and commemorative events in the inaugural celebration from Juneteenth to Liberty Amendments Day, a Town holiday.
This year's event will start on June 18 and run through July 19, 2022. Each week will focus on one of the Liberty Amendments. More details and a full calendar of Liberty Amendments Month events will be published here in Spring 2022.
More about the Liberty Amendments
The 13th Amendment abolished slavery while the 14th Amendment, in response to issues faced by former slaves, addresses citizenship rights and equal protection under the law. The 15th Amendment extended the right to vote to all men regardless of "race, color, or previous condition of servitude," and the 19th Amendment extended voting rights to women.
Get involved
The Town encourages community organizations and businesses to create events that celebrate our equality, while warming hearts, uplifting spirits and uniting our community.
