As women took great strides towards equality, they used fashion to further their cause. The colors of the suffrage movement were: Purple (loyalty), White (purity), and/or Gold (life). Adorn the colors of the movement and show off your attire through the event's virtual photo booth–a link to the photos will be shared with all participants following the event.

Bergman Memorial Lecture
The Jane Ellen Bergman Memorial Lecture Series on Women, Children, and Human Rights is a gift from Dr. Barbara Yates, a longtime professor at the University of Illinois, and a friend of the late Bergman. According to Dr. Yates, Bergman was “an ordinary citizen who chose to devote her professional life to public service. As a nursing administrator, public health educator, and family therapist, she developed an abiding interest in the human rights of common people, especially the plight of women and children, in a rapidly changing world.” This series is a lasting tribute to Bergman and an opportunity for USD students, faculty/administrators, and community members to hear distinguished lecturers discuss issues concerning women, children, and human rights.
USD School of Law is honored to host the 2020 Bergman Lecture celebrating the Women's Vote Centennial.
