By November of 1920, a deadly pandemic had finally ended. The 19th Amendment had been ratified, giving women the right to vote, though it would take Black women decades more to exercise that right. And the U.S. elected its 29th president in Warren G. Harding.
One hundred years later, we’re in the midst of a deadly pandemic, the resurgence of a civil rights movement and another presidential election. As we wait for the results, we wanted to share newspaper front pages from the last 100 years of U.S. presidential elections. These fronts come from newspapers.com.
