Nearly half a century after North Dakota ratified the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, debate continues in the Legislature over the amendment and whether the stateâs ratification stands.
âERA would forever make it illegal to extend benefits, privileges or exemptions to women. ERA, in fact, would do nothing for women,â Rose Christensen told the Senate Government and Veterans Affairs Committee recently. âThe ERA should more properly be considered unisex legislation.â
But Kristie Wolff, executive director of North Dakota Womenâs Network, told the committee that the amendment âisnât just about women.â Rather, âthe ERAâs guarantee of equal rights would protect both women and men against sex discrimination under the law.â

In the spring of 1890, William Reycraft uncovered some rather odd and very large bones while digging a ditch on his uncleâs farm a short distance from Highgate. This seemingly innocent discovery appeared to be nothing more than a relatively interesting oddity until word spread and others began to arrive.
John Jelly and William Hillhouse from Shelburne (north of Orangeville) heard about the discovery and wasted little time in rushing to the Highgate farm. For a mere $25, they purchased the excavation rights to what was to become known as the Highgate Mastodon.

50 Companies Founded by Black Entrepreneurs

The entrepreneurial spirit is a cornerstone of American culture, but history books too often leave out the extensive contributions of minorities and women. In honor of Black History Month, Stacker is shining a light on 50 Black entrepreneurs who made a lasting influence on the business world and, often in the process, civil rights from the Revolutionary War to today.
The abrupt end to slavery in 1865 following the conclusion of the Civil War freed about 4 million people but left them without a clear trajectory forward. Black Codes afforded freed people the right to sue in court and marry but stipulated other discriminatory rules like keeping them from serving on juries or in state militias.
