Singer Alicia Keys marked Independence Day by arguing that American women still do not have an explicit constitutional guarantee of equal rights because an Equal Rights Amendment has not been passed. In a video posted to Instagram during the nation’s 250th Independence Day celebration, Keys highlighted how the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) has remained unratified more than a century after it was first introduced. “Did you know that it’s been 100 years since the Equal Rights Amendment was first introduced?” Keys told her followers in the video. “And now, still, women don’t have an explicit guarantee to equal rights under the US Constitution.”
