On This Day in 1913: The 17th Amendment was ratified, giving VOTERS the power to elect U.S. Senators instead of letting the state legislatures decide.
As women and people of color won the right to vote, they took their power to the ballot box and voted for Senators that better represented the diversity of our country.
The power should be in the hands of the people. ✊🏽
