Women skydivers take to skies to celebrate 100th anniversary of women's right to vote

SENECA FALLS, N.Y. — Women skydivers took to the skies above Seneca Falls on Saturday morning to commemorate the 100th anniversary of women's right to vote in the U.S.

The Highlight Pro Skydiving Team performed the first of its kind aerial display near the National Women's Hall of Fame.

The skydiving team descended from 5,000 feet in the air with brightly colored smoke, streamers, and flags displaying suffrage themes like "Votes for Women."

The historic skydive commemorates the ratification of the 19th Amendment on August 18th, 1920 which gave American women the right to vote.
