Students learn the cost of a vote is different for everyone

By Madelynn Bland —

The Women’s Center hosted an educational event in the Red Barn to both celebrate the 100 anniversary of the 19 Amendment and to educate on the women’s suffrage movement.

Jamieca Jones, a Program Coordinator with the U of L Women’s Center talked about how there are still difficulties voting today.

“There are still people to this very day who are facing barriers to voting. We will talk a bit about the suffrage history here in Louisville and nationally but I really wanted to branch out and say ‘Hey, what is the cost of a vote to you’ because sometimes it costs more for others,” she said.
