Civil Rights, Suffrage and Founding Milestones

Specific dated civic milestones in the extension of rights or the formal adoption of a founding document, including the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, the Seneca Falls Convention and the Adoption of the Declaration of Independence, filed here as a founding civic milestone alongside the other two rather than under Independence, Partition and State Formation, a genuinely close call a successor could reasonably decide the other way. Belongs here: a dated event marking a milestone in the extension of civil rights, suffrage, or the formal adoption of a foundational rights document. Does not belong here: a change in a state's territorial or sovereign status, grouped under Independence, Partition and State Formation.
