Press conference on Equal Rights Amendment publication

Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul speaks at a press conference on a lawsuit to force the National Archivist to publish the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th Amendment to the US Constitution. Oral arguments in the case, Illinois v. Ferriero, were heard September 28, 2022, at the US Court of Appeals in Washington, DC. Amendments do not formally become part of the Constitution until they are published, and the ERA has met all requirements for publication. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
