The 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution gave American women the right to vote.
The Nineteenth Amendment (Amendment XIX) to the United States Constitution prohibits the United States and the states from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex, in effect recognizing the right of women to a vote.
The amendment was the culmination of a decades-long movement for women's suffrage in the United States, at both the state and national levels, and was part of the worldwide movement towards women's suffrage and part of the wider women's rights movement.
The first women's suffrage amendment was introduced in Congress in 1878. However, a suffrage amendment did not pass the House of Representatives until May 21, 1919, which was quickly followed by the Senate, on June 4, 1919. It was then submitted to the states for ratification, achieving the requisite 36 ratifications to secure adoption, and thereby go into effect, on August 18, 1920.
The Nineteenth Amendment's adoption was certified on August 26, 1920.

20 ~ US Route
At more than 3,300 miles, Route 20 is the single longest road in America. And it’s another major highway that starts in Beantown and takes a similar route to the I-90. This one actually begins in the Back Bay neighbourhood on Commonwealth Avenue, so it’s first mile includes the historic Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox. (Don’t miss the iconic Citgo sign!) After crossing the Charles River, the 20 becomes Main Street, beginning a legendary stretch through 12 states.

The Ohio portion runs about three miles north of my house! 23 -- a normal human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes.

When Barry Bonds joined the San Francisco Giants as a free agent in 1993, his godfather, Willie Mays, offered to let Bonds wear his retired No. 24 jersey. Bonds graciously turned his offer down, choosing instead to wear No. 25, the number worn by his father Bobby Bonds during his playing days with the Giants. Bonds would go on to hit 586 home runs as a Giant, capturing five MVP Awards and setting the single-season and all-time home run marks before retiring in 2007.
Mark McGwire wore the No. 25 throughout his entire 16-year career with the Oakland A's and St. Louis Cardinals, finishing 10th all-time with 583 home runs.

Chevrolet Z/28
The original Chevrolet Z/28 was introduced in December 1966 for model year '67. It was the brainchild of Vince Piggins, who wanted to create a race-ready Camaro that was superior to the Mustang. So he took a a 327 block and put a 283 crankshaft in it so that it had a 4-inch bore and a 3-inch stroke, making it a 302.4 cubic inch, which fell just under the 305-cu.in. limit of the SCCA Trans-Am category. Its nameplate came straight from the RPO codes, RPO28 being the Special Performance Package. It wasn't mentioned in sales materials, so only 602 were made in the first year of production. The small block was rated at 290 horsepower, but in reality, it produced around 360 hp with the single four-barrel carb and 400 hp with optional dual-four barrel carbs. It also had front disc brakes, 15-inch wheels, heavy-duty front coil springs, multi-leaf rear springs and suspension, an 11-inch clutch, a close-ratio four-speed with a 2.20:1 first gear ratio, a steering gear ratio with 24:1 overall ratio and a special hood with functional air intake. The 1969 edition also had a cowl induction hood as an option.  |

In Back to The Future, Marty McFly traveled 30 years back in time.
 Set in 1985, the story follows Marty McFly (Fox), a teenager accidentally sent back to 1955 in a time-traveling DeLorean automobile built by his eccentric scientist friend Doctor Emmett "Doc" Brown (Lloyd). Trapped in the past, Marty inadvertently prevents his future parents' meeting—threatening his very existence—and is forced to reconcile the pair and somehow get back to the future.
