The Great Suffrage March of 1913
We welcome journalist Rebecca Roberts for a conversation about women’s suffrage as we mark the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment. In 1913, suffragists planned a massive march down Pennsylvania Avenue to coincide with the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson. It was the first March on Washington, and a turning point in the fight to win the vote, which finally succeeded in 1920.
Rebecca Boggs Roberts has been many things including, but not limited to, journalist, producer, tour guide, forensic anthropologist, event planner, political consultant, jazz singer, and radio talk show host. Currently, she is Curator of Programming for Planet Word, a museum set to open in 2020. She looks forward to creating a new institution that will become part of the intellectual and cultural life of our capitol city. Roberts lives in Washington, D.C. with her husband, three sons, and a big fat dog.
