Suffrage Rally, May 1, 1915, Richmond, Va. [photographs]
Description
An account of the resource
These photographs document a suffrage rally held on the south portico of the Virginia Capitol on May 1, 1915. Dr. E. N. Calisch, rabbi of <a href="https://www.bethahabah.org/" target="_blank" title="congregation website" rel="noreferrer noopener">Congregation Beth Ahabah</a>, spoke in favor of woman suffrage at the event. Joy Montgomery Higgins of Nebraska addressed the crowd next.<br /><br />The Equal Suffrage League was denied permission to speak on city streets by Richmond Mayor Ainslie, on the grounds that, while there was no law forbidding them to speak, neither was there one that allowed him to grant them a permit. The women proceeded to give speeches from inside an automobile, and the event was documented and reported by the <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045389/1915-05-02/ed-1/seq-1/" target="_blank" title="Chronicling America, Library of Congress historic newspapers" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Richmond Times-Dispatch</em><span> on May, 2, 1915.</span></a> According to the paper, <br /><br /><blockquote>Floating suffrage banners, fluttering yellow ribbons, silver-toned bugles, and a brass band proclaimed the fact that yesterday was Equal Suffrage Day in Richmond, as well as in every other town and city of the United States. <br /><br />Throughout the morning forty women, at eleven stands about the city, sold copies of the Woman's Journal, and suffrage flags, buttons, and postcards. The cordial and sympathetic attitude shown by the public was regarded as a striking illustration of the change in public opinion effected during the last few years. </blockquote>
<br />By June, ESL members had successfully secured <a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/show/532" target="_blank" title="See the permit from June 1915" rel="noreferrer noopener">a permit</a> to speak on city streets. <br /><br />Note: Images displayed here are black and white copies of the original photographs.<br /><br />Automobile identified as that of Mrs. W. W. Foster. Occupants of the vehicle are: (back seat) Mrs. Alice Overby Taylor, Mrs. W. Hill Urquhart, Jr., Mrs. G. Harvey Clark; (middle seat) <a href="https://archive.org/stream/birdlore19nati/birdlore19nati#page/452/mode/1up" target="_blank" title="photograph" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joy Montgomery Higgins</a>, Mrs. Charles V.

Voting Rights and Legal Wrongs. A Commentary on S. 1564, the proposed "Voting Rights Act of 1965..."
Description
An account of the resource
This booklet was distributed by the Virginia Commission on Constitutional Government (VCCG) in opposition to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Commission began in 1958 and existed until the late 1960s. <br /><br />Led by David J. Mays, a prominent lawyer and advisor to Virginia’s commission on the response to the Brown v. Board of Education decision, it advocated nationally for states’ rights and conservatism, and eventually distributed over 2 million published pamphlets, brochures and speeches.<br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />FOREWORD<br /><br />During the first eight weeks of 1965, demonstrations of increasing size and intensity in Selma, Ala., and later in Montgomery, attracted nationwide attention to the efforts of Alabama Negroes to secure their right to vote. The demonstrations reached a political climax on the evening of March 15, when the President asked a joint session of the Congress for the immediate adoption of a "Voting Rights Act of 1965." Remarkably, members of the United States Supreme Court, in their judical robes, sat in the front row applauding. <br /><br />Three days later, on March 18, identical bills were introduced in the House (HR 6400) and in the Senate (S. 1564) to carry out the President's recommendations. <br /><br />The Virginia Commission on Constitutional Government believes fervently in the right to vote....At the same time, the Commission adheres just as fervently to a conviction that the power to fix qualifications for voting, uniformly applied to all persons, is a power plainly reserved to the States under Article I of the Constitution.... <br /><br />The proposed "Voting Rights Act of 1965," in the Commission's view, transcends the authority vested in Congress. Its key provisions are triggered not by discrimination on account of race or color, but by arbitrarily defined statistical phenomena....<br /><br />In our view, the President is proposing to deal unconstitutionally with unconstitutional acts, thus piling a large subversion on a small one. He is proposing to go far beyond the limits of discrimination "on account of" race or color, in order to spread upon the statute books a harsh and punitive measure of general application, more drastic than any voting legislation proposed since Reconstruction days. The bill would grievously undermine our federal system; it would open the door to the obliteration of all State powers in the field of State and local elections.<br /><br />We do not oppose the President's aim. Surely the indefensible conditions that provoked the Alabama demonstrations must be remedied. But we are convinced the job can be done by a carefully drawn bill, strictly confined to denials and abridgments by reason of race or color. Such a bill would have this Commission's support...."<br /><br />James J. Kilpatrick, Chairman, Committee on Publications<br />Richmond, April, 1965.<br /> <br /><br /><a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Virginia+Commission+on+Constitutional+Government" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Other VCCG publications">Other VCCG publications</a> in the Image Portal

"You Gotta Believe It" Your One Vote Does Count. [Crusade for Voters pamphlet]
Description
An account of the resource
Front and back covers of a four-page pamphlet created by the Crusade for Voters, Richmond, Va. The circular logo on the front cover shows a family of color with an American flag. Surrounding them is the slogan, "Every member of our family is a voter." Other text on the page says, "'You Gotta Believe It' Your One Vote Does Count. In Unity There is Strength." <br /><br />p.4 excerpts<br /><br />The black vote could be vital in many councilmanic elections, congressional elections, and even in the presidential election.<br /><br />If there is one who has not seen the value of the vote, take him by the hand and get him registered. He could be your next door neighbor, your husband, your wife, a member of your church, club, or organization. Wherever you find him, get him registered! <br /><br />By using your votes wisely -- voting for the right people -- impossible doors will be opened. The power of the people is at the Ballot Box -- Vote. <br /><br />At page bottom: <br />Published by the Crusade for Voters -- a non partisan organization in the interest of increasing the Voter Registration and Education.

Richmond Exchange for Woman's Work [card]
Description
An account of the resource
Card describing the mission of the Richmond Exchange for Woman's Work. <br /><br />The Exchange for Woman’s Work, founded in 1883, was part of the Woman’s Exchange movement started in Philadelphia in 1832. Exchanges were popular places for women in hardship to sell goods on consignment without working publicly, a social taboo at the time. <br /><br />Some Exchanges still operate, and while the Richmond Exchange closed in 1955, it launched several female-owned businesses including Sally Bell’s Kitchen, still in business. Its founders—Elizabeth Lee Milton and Sarah Cabell Jones—met through the Richmond Woman’s Exchange. <br /><br />Card text: <br /><br />This depot for the exhibition and sale of the handiwork of needy women has always on hand an assortment of dainty crochetted and knitted goods, toilet sets, fancy and plain needle-work and painting, besides delicious home-made biscuit, cake, jellies, pickles, beef-tea, and delicacies for the sick. <br /><br />Strangers in the city may here find suitable souvenirs of their visit, and at the same time assist a deserving class of workers.

Description
An account of the resource
This correspondence and ephemera pertain to the Richmond Exchange for Woman’s Work, founded in 1883, part of the Woman’s Exchange movement started in Philadelphia in 1832. <br /><br />Exchanges were popular places for women in hardship to sell goods on consignment without working publicly, a social taboo at the time. Some Exchanges still operate, and while the Richmond Exchange closed in 1955, it launched several female-owned businesses including Sally Bell’s Kitchen, still in business. Its founders—Elizabeth Lee Milton and Sarah Cabell Jones—met through the Richmond Woman’s Exchange.

Planks from the Suffrage Platform --as Stated by Mrs. C. C. Catt [anti-suffrage handbill]
Description
An account of the resource
Anti-suffrage handbill uses quotations to make its case that woman suffrage supports racial equality and will lead to intermarriage, advances feminist views, is unpatriotic and does not support the war effort or the Constitution of the United States. The Equal Suffrage League of Virginia and the Equal Suffrage League of Richmond are both named. <br /><br />The writer of the handbill asks, "Is our Constitution another scrap of paper? Do YOU endorse these doctrines?"

Permit issued by the Mayor of Richmond, Va. allowing the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia to hold public meetings on the streets and in the parks of the city. <br /><br />On May 1, 1915, the ESL were denied permission to speak on city streets by Mayor Ainslie, on the grounds that, while there was no law forbidding them to speak, neither was there one that allowed him to grant them a permit. The women proceeded to give speeches from inside an automobile. The event was documented and reported by the <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045389/1915-05-02/ed-1/seq-1/" target="_blank" title="Chronicling America, Library of Congress historic newspapers" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Richmond Times-Dispatch</em> on May, 2, 1915.</a> <br /><br /><a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/show/562" target="_blank" title="view photographs of the woman suffrage rally" rel="noreferrer noopener">Photographs from the May 1 rally</a> may be found in the Social Welfare History Image Portal.

Description
An account of the resource
Anti-suffrage broadside poking fun at the woman suffrage movement. Filled with puns and inside jokes, the source and precise meaning of this publication are uncertain. <br /><br />Notes: The Square Deal was President Theodore Roosevelt's domestic program. <br /><br />The "hatchet" refers to Carrie Nation, the radical temperance activist. The "wets" (and "drys") were the two sides on the issue of prohibition. <br /><br />Some of the puns refer to foods made from corn: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grits" target="_blank" title="How do you make grits and hominy?" rel="noreferrer noopener">grits and hominy</a>. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postum" target="_blank" title="What is postum?" rel="noreferrer noopener">Postum</a> is a coffee substitute made from roasted wheat and molasses. <br /><br /><em>Paradise Lost</em> is an epic poem written by John Milton. The poem is divided into twelve sections known as "books." A "canto" is another word for the sections into which some long poems are divided. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Woman_Suffrage" target="_blank" title="What is this book?" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>The History of Woman Suffrage </em></a>quotes a line from <em>Paradise Lost</em>, "All is not lost: the unconquerable will is ours."<br /><br /><em><a href="http://dlib.nyu.edu/themasses/" target="_blank" title="Read issues of The Masses online" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Masses</a> </em>was a richly illustrated socialist magazine, published monthly from 1911 until 1917. <br /><br />Excerpts: <br />SUFFRAJESTS <br />If our husbands' socks are full of holes, <br />Our holier duty is at the polls....<br /><br />We didn't need the "hatchet"--we've got the "Club." Hurrah! <br /><br />Put your bets on the suffragettes. If you'll back them up they'll uphold the "wets." That's a stand off. <br /><br />We don't believe in "force"--it isn't what its "cracked up" to be. "Hominy" is better, and somes "grit" is necessary. You see, we "acknowledge the corn." (This isn't a cereal story.); if it were we'd "postum" up and raise some electioneering dough. Our road isn't all "peaches and cream," but we hope to get our desserts some day.... <br /><br />We are truly yours by a large majority, <br />THE SUFFRAJESTS<br />

Description
An account of the resource
This article reports on the Virginia Church Conference on Race Relations held October 28, 1930 at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Richmond, Va. The theme of the conference was "Facing the Facts with a Christian Program." Dr. Ben Lacy, Jr. President of Union Theological Seminary, presided over the gathering of leaders of white church groups in Virginia, and representative of Virginia schools and colleges. <br /><br />Speakers presented findings of "The Negro in Richmond, Virgina" a study completed by the Negro Welfare Suvey Committee in 1929. Topics such as housing, education, community health and infant mortality were discussed.

Virginia Warns Her People Against Suffrage [broadside]
Description
An account of the resource
Reprint of an editorial from the <em>Richmond Evening Journal</em>, May 4, 1915. <br /><br />"Virginia Warns Her People Against Suffrage <br />---- <br />Twenty-nine counties would go under Negro Rule Over sixty counties in the State of Georgia <br />The entire State of Mississippi <br />----- <br />What of your state, your country? Isn't it about time for reflecting men and women to think--and act? <br />---- <br />THE THREATENED COUNTIES <br />From the Richmond Evening Journal May 4, 1915--Republished by Request <br /><br />Several times The Richmond Evening Journal has be asked to say which counties of Virginia have more colored than white female inhabitants. The question , of course, is in connection with the somewhat noisy demands we read of in the newspapers for "votes for women." Here is the list, from the United States census of 1910:<br /><br />...It is to be remembered that the literacy test would not work in choking off the colored woman vote. The colored people are decreasing their percentage of illiteracy very fast, especially among their women and girls. The ladies of the suffrage league will hardly come forward with a property test. No safeguard would be left but the poll tax; and if colored women knew they could get votes and rule some very rich and important counties by paying $1.50 apiece, we are inclined to think most of them would be willing to go hungry, if necessary to do it. <br /><br />Probably the ladies engaged in this suffrage movement are not very practical or very logical or very well informed or disposed to bother their heads with the actual facts of politics. Most of them, we surmise, hold the somewhat vague, but firmly established feminine line of reasoning that when they want something , or think they want it, they ought to have it by all principles of wisdom and justice; and are prepared always to fall back on the traditional conclusive feminine argument "because."
