The bill commemorates the 143rd anniversary of Minnie Fisher Cunningham, a trailblazing activist born in 1882 in New Waverly, Texas. Cunningham played a vital role in securing women's suffrage and was one of the first women in Texas to receive a pharmacy degree. She was recruited by the National American Woman Suffrage Association to lobby Congress and President Woodrow Wilson, eventually becoming the group's congressional secretary. After the 19th Amendment's passage in 1919, she traveled across the Southwest to rally support for ratification.
