Detailed explanation-1: -The first suffragist parade in Washington D.C. was organized by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns for the day before President Wilson’s inauguration in March 1913. Working with the National American Woman Suffrage Association, they drew thousands of marchers to rally for a national amendment on woman suffrage.
Detailed explanation-2: -The crowd of at least 250, 000 people did not stay on the sidewalk but began to stream into the streets and block the parade route. Police stationed along Pennsylvania Avenue were unable or unwilling to control the crowds. The marchers tried their best to continue.
Detailed explanation-3: -Suffragist Alice Paul organized the large-scale national suffrage parade, which took place in Washington, D.C., on March 3, 1913, the day before President Woodrow Wilson’s inauguration. The event began peacefully as suffragists departed from the Peace Monument on the west side of the U.S. Capitol.
Detailed explanation-4: -On March 3, 1913, 5, 000 women marched up Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC, demanding the right to vote.
