This year’s Cultural Conference is going VIRTUAL for ALL to enjoy from the comfort of their home.

The 14th Annual LACS Cultural Conference

“Votes For Women: 100 Years of Women’s Voting Rights in Luxembourg and the United States”

Thursday, August 6, 2020- 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm CDT

Friday, August 7, 2020- 12:00 pm – 3:30 pm CDT

All registered attendees will receive a link to watch as much or as little at a time convenient to them if they choose to not participate during the live conference.

Cost: $5 Technology Fee

The LACS Cultural Conference has gone virtual this year! We are celebrating the centenary of suffrage movements in both Luxembourg and the United States. Universal suffrage was adopted into law in Luxembourg in 1919, and women’s suffrage was ratified into law in the United States in 1920. Our expert speakers and their topics show how individuals worked together to create movements and built upon each other’s accomplishments. Join us as we dig deeper into the history of these suffrage movements and show the similarities and differences of events happening at the same time on different continents.

Pre-registration is required and class size is limited, so don’t delay!  Everyone who registers will receive a free recording of the conference to watch at any time.
