My daughter introduced me to October London’s music a couple of years ago, and I have been a fan ever since. What first caught my attention was obvious: the warmth in his voice, the classic-soul arrangements and a style that recalls an era when a singer could build an entire song around feeling.

On August 18, 1920, Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the 19th Amendment, providing the final approval needed to add it to the United States Constitution.

The Fifteenth Amendment, ratified in 1870, had already declared that the right of citizens to vote could not be denied because of race, color or previous condition of servitude.

America at 250: The Promise Series America's story has never been a straight line. It is the story of a promise—spoken in Philadelphia in 1776, tested on battlefields, challenged in courtrooms, carried through marches, defended by ordinary citizens, and passed from one generation to the next. As our nation marks its 250th anniversary, this series revisits the people and moments that have shaped that promise—and asks what it means for America today.

Some albums announce themselves with fireworks.
