WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — Black Hawk County supervisors have approved placement of a women’s voting rights sculpture on the courthouse lawn in Waterloo. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that the Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to let the Cedar Falls/Waterloo 19th Amendment Centennial Committee erect a steel monument as requested. It would recognize the 100th anniversary of the constitutional amendment that gave women nationwide the right to vote.

Another monument is planned for outside the Cedar Falls Woman’s Club. The centennial committee is raising $25,000 for both projects. The committee hopes to dedicate the sculptures, which have yet to be designed, on Women’s Equality Day, Aug. 26, 2020.
