oday in Peace & Justice history on October 23, 1915
33,000 women marched in New York City demanding the right to vote.
Known as the "banner parade" because of the multitude of flags and
banners carried, it began at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and continued
until long after dark, attracting a record-breaking crowd of spectators.
Motor cars brought up the rear decorated with Chinese lanterns;
once darkness fell, Fifth Avenue was a mass of moving colored lights.
