NASHUA — “Voting Victory: Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment,” a documentary exploring the historic movement that led to the passage of suffrage legislation giving women the right to vote, will make its online debut Sunday afternoon.

A collaboration of city officials, the Nashua Public Library, Nashua Historical Society, Nashua Community Television, the roughly one-hour program will air at 2 p.m. Sunday NCT’s Channel 16. It will also be streamed on Facebook on NCT’s and Mayor Jim Donchess’s pages.

Several local, regional and state elected officials will read passages taken from news accounts and historic documents, and graphics and period photos will be presented during the program.

Following its debut, the program will be rebroadcast on NCT at different intervals, and a link to the Facebook page and the city’s YouTube channel will be posted.
