Some interesting History for the Month of February

·         February 3, 1870 - The 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, guaranteeing the right of   citizens to vote, regardless of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

·         February 4, 1985 - Twenty countries in the United Nations signed a document entitled "Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment."

·         February 6, 1933 - The 20th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was adopted. It set the date for the Presidential Inauguration as Jan. 20, instead of the old date of March 4. It also sets Jan. 3 as the official opening date of Congress, eliminating 'lame-duck' sessions of Congress.

·         February 15, 1820 - Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) was born in Adams, Mass. A pioneer in women's rights, she worked tirelessly for woman's suffrage (right to vote) and in 1872 was arrested after casting a vote in the presidential election. She was commemorated in 1979 with the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin, thus became the first American woman to have her image on a U.S. coin.

·        February 22, 1732 - George Washington (1732-1799) was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia. He served as commander of the Continental Army during the American Revolution and became the first U.S. President.
