House Joint Resolution 1648, sponsored by Salinas, honors the musical "Suffs" and its upcoming performances at the Orpheum Theater in Memphis from July 28 to August 2, 2026. "Suffs," a Tony Award-winning musical created by Shaina Taub, focuses on the American women's suffrage movement and the events leading to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. The musical highlights the stories of key suffragists, including Alice Paul and Ida B. Wells, and explores the strategic differences and shared goals among these activists as they organized for voting rights.

The resolution emphasizes Tennessee's significant role in the suffrage movement, particularly noting that the state's General Assembly cast the deciding vote for the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920. "Suffs" not only educates audiences about this pivotal historical moment but also celebrates the courage and perseverance of women who fought for equality. The resolution commends the artistic excellence of "Suffs" and its contribution to civic engagement and democratic ideals, marking its presentation in Tennessee as a noteworthy cultural event.
