Description
An account of the resource
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.
