Women’s History Month traces its origins back more than 100 years, with International Women’s History Day first observed in 1911. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter proclaimed National Women’s History Week, and in 1987, Congress officially designated March as National Women’s History Month. #women #month #honors

The events will draw an array of national leaders, local officials, and cultural figures. Speakers include Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Chicago Cubs owner Tom Ricketts, businessman Jim Reynolds, and Rabbi Sharon Brous. #jessejackson #presidents #homegoing
