miss lemay examines the tactics under the leadership of alice paul. >> hi. i'm the curator of votes for women. it's on view at the national portrait gallery at the smithsonian institution. i'm standing in front of what we call your title treatment. it's a large blow up of a german born actress. she was acting as columbia, a figure which represents the united states during the conclusion of the 1913 parade in washington, d.c. and that's just one event of the long suffrage movement that this exhibit highlights. we have 124 objects that goes into the long history beginning in 1832 and bringing it right up to 1920, but the then also declaring the 19 th amendment which it didn't do which was enfranchise all women including women of color and i took it up to the voting rights act of 1965. if you'll come with me, we'll go and explore the 1913 parade more in depth. so, we are standing in front of federal postcards of the 1913 parade, which was organized by alice paul and this was a completely different tactic than what had been done before by other suffragists. what

she was also with alice paul, one of the leaders of this militant suffrage movement. here you see the arrest of the suffragists, they are being put into the police wagon and carted off to get sentenced to jail. from 1917 through the end of 1919, the suffragists led by alice paul continued to picket outside of the white house. i was interested to see images of the suffragists up close and personal. i wanted to emphasize these were individuals with their own lives spending their time, which we know is precious on this important cause. the video behind me is playing through images of them picketing. they kept up the pressure. by creating the headlines and the spectacle, i think the suffragists finally see the kind of momentum they were searching for throughout the entire movement. the pressure that they placed on president wilson was so much that he finally endorsed the cause. when he did on may 21 of 1919, the amendment that was proposed actually passed the of representatives and then in the senate in june of 1919. at which point the amendment was sent out to the states

what alice paul was trying to do was create headlines. after spending some time in britain, she got radicalized by the british suffragette and learned how to create attention grabbing spectacles. u.s.she came back to the in 1911 and 1912, she organized with the congressional union, this parade. marched fromtte the capital, down pennsylvania , and they stopped at the treasury building. at the treasury building, they had this pageant. , they had to make their way through 500,000 -- that is a huge number. one of the problems was that it did not have police protection because the chief of police in washington dc was not a friend to suffragette. he denied them police protection , even though she had applied for a permit. war,ad, the secretary of part of the presidential cabinet put what we would think of as the national guard on standby in nearby fort myers, in virginia. unrulye crowd got really and being very aggressive, that is when they literally called in the calvary from virginia and had that group as the protector of the suffragette. it

sue white, who is running as lieutenants to alice paul. she's running the women's party. so you have two women's organizations, with the same goal, but working separately and working sometimes at odds at each other. and then you have josephine pierson who is leading the opposition and a whole constellation of men and politicians and corporate lobbyists. we don't think about that, but corporate lobbyists were a big part of this equation, all gathering in nashville and having fistfights. >> all right, we're going to continue to talk to elaine white. we want to make sure that you know that you can call in and participate in this segment if you have questions for her, 202 is the area code 202-748-8201, if you live in the mountain and pacific time zone go ahead and call in and we'll get to those in just a minute. josephine pierson, carrie catz and sue white did they ever meet each other at the e hermitage hotel? >> they must have. i don't have documentation bus they were there for weeks and weeks. so you have both wings of the suffrage movement. at the hotel, the anti-suffrage

through the end of suffragists led by alice paul continue to pick it. pickett. i was interested because i wanted to emphasize that these were individuals with their own lives. spending their time, which we all know is precious on an important cause. the video is playing through images of them picketing. they kept up the pressure. by creating the headlines and creating the spectacle, i think the suffragists finally gained the momentum that they were searching for throughout the entire movement. pressure that they placed on president woodrow wilson was so much that he endorsed the cause. >> continued the tour on american artifacts, sunday at 6:00 p.m. and at 10:00 p.m. eastern. you are watching american history tv. >> next, the association of the u.s. army hosts a book for with -- forum with three authors titled "controversial and unconventional leaders in the u.s. army." the generals are george patton, edward allmond and john. >> good afternoon, everybody. thank you very much for being here. this is our annual book program we put on every here. -- every year. we

they had adopted purple into the suffrage color with alice paul's new group around 1913.nd basically that was what they did for two years and stood their ground. they also included. you can see there are college women. wearing the banners of which colleges they went too so they had days in which college women would protest or different state dell gages or even working women would protest too. so working women only had one day off a week from work so that was on a sunday. basically they couldn't protest unless it was a sunday and so we can talk about the working women here. where you see the title cover of the maryland suffrage news whocts a -- depicts a woman was white who was a seamstress who has been working for more than eight hours today, which are more than working hours that are regulated by federal law. there were no laws that regulated working so working women felt that they were being abused and there were no laws that could protect them. so this woman had basically cradle at her sewing and the illustration was made by mary taylor and it was done for with one of
