Handbill in support of the Federal Suffrage Amendment. Congress proposed the Nineteenth Amendment on June 4, 1919. Ratification was completed on August 18, 1920. Text excerpts: DO IT NOW! Give the vote to the women of every state in the Union by Federal Constitutional Amendment. BECAUSE--Woman suffrage is inevitable all the world around; few deny it--why should the United States delay? ... BECAUSE--The Government which asks the women of the country to give their all to win a war for democracy abroad, cannot consistently deny them the vote, the symbol of democracy, at home. BECAUSE--The woman suffrage movement is a part of the great struggle of the world contest for fundamental human freedom, and until the amendment is ratified by the legislatures of the states the suffrage campaign must and will go on. SUPPORT THE FEDERAL SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT

Women's Work and War: A Bulletin of Facts Concerning the Employment of Women to Meet the Deficit of Man Power in Our National Industrial Emergency. Published by the National Women's Trade Union League. p.1 "The working women are eager to help win the war. To make their help effective is a problem which must be generally discussed. Therefore this Bulletin." "The United States is now calling into action two armies. The first is an army of men, trained and equipped for service. It carries with it all the splendid panoply of war. The second is a woman's army. It is neither trained nor equipped, nor conscious of its unity. Yet to give good service it must be all those things. The women's army is as necessary to us at this time as the men's army, it will feed and clothe and munition the men in the trenches. As more men are called to the training camps women will step into their places in the shops, thus constantly increasing the army of women upon whose shoulders will rest the whole economic burden of this country." p.4 The NWTUL advocated for reasonable standards for women workers on Government contracts. This pamphlet outlines those standards as follows: "Adult labor. Wages-- 1. The highest rate prevailing in the industry effected. 2. Equal pay for equal work. 3. Trades without wage standards to be handled by an adjustment committee. 4. Adjustment committee to handle all wage questions and to keep all wages in fair proportion to increasing cost of living. The Eight Hour Day. One day rest in seven. Prohibition of night work for women. Standards of sanitation and fire protection. Protection against over-fatigue and industrial diseases. Prohibition of tenement house labor. Exemption from call into industry of women whose small children need their care. Exemption from call into industry of women two months before and after child birth." Note postmark promoting food conservation during World War I. "Food will win the war. Don't waste it."

Eight and one-half Million Women Workers!
Pamphlet promoting the work of the National Women's Trade Union League of America. The NWTULA advocates for better working conditions, hours, and wages for women and girls. Cover illustration of a young female factory worker. Her apron and the smoke from factory smokestacks behind her are caught by the wind. Illustration by Winifred Bromhall, best known for her work as a children's book artist. Excerpts: p. 2 "According to the 1920 census, eight and one-half million women in the United States, 10 years of age and over, earn their own living and contribute to the support of others. This represents a half-million increase over 1910.... One out of every 4 women wage-earners is in one of the manufacturing and mechanical industries." p. 3 "A Way Out? Trade union organization--more and more of it--with its machinery for the collective merchandising of the day's work. Voices here and there, raised in individual protest, are not heard above the din of the modern industrial machine. But the collective voice of millions of women who know for themselves the toll exacted for unnatural strain will compel a hearing for their industrial ills."

The Red Behind the Yellow, Socialists Working for Suffrage [anti-suffrage handbill]
Anti-suffrage handbill from the New York State Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage. "Every Socialist leader admits that the extension of the franchise to women is ESSENTIAL TO THE SUCCESS OF SOCIALISM.... The New York State Men's League for Woman Suffrage had as one of its organizers and first secretary, Max Eastman, editor of The MASSES, an extreme Socialist publication, which printed the blasphemous poem 'God's Blunder.' ...no suffrage organization has ever repudiated Socialism...A Vote for Woman Suffrage Will Help Socialism. VOTE NO ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE NOVEMBER 2, 1915."

Handbill published by the New York State Woman Suffrage Association. Excerpts: "WOMEN IN THE HOME We are forever being told that the place for women is in the HOME. Well, so be it. But what do we expect of her in the home? Merely to stay in the home is not enough. She is a failure unless she does certain things for the home. She must make the home minister, as far as her means allow, to the health and welfare, moral as well as physical, of her family, and especially of her children. She, more than anyone else, is held responsible for what they become. SHE is responsible for the cleanliness of her house. SHE is responsible for the wholesomeness of the food. SHE is responsible for the children's heath. SHE, above all, is responsible for their morals, for their sense of truth, of honesty and decency, for what they turn out to be. How Far Can the Mother Control These Things?" Handbill goes on to argue that the elected city officials control many of the conditions that threaten children and families. These officials are elected by men, who must therefore share in the responsibility for these unsafe conditions. "In fact, MEN are responsible for the conditions under which the children live, but we hold WOMEN responsible for the results of those conditions. If we hold women responsible for the results, must we not, in simple justice, let them have something to say as to what these conditions shall be? There is one simple way of doing this. Give them the same means that men have. LET THEM VOTE. Women are, by nature and training, housekeepers. Let them have a hand in the city's housekeeping, even if they introduce and occasional house-cleaning."

Votes for Women! The Woman's Reason. Because [suffrage handbill]
Handbill published by the New York State Woman Suffrage Association. Excerpt: Votes for Women! The Woman's Reason. Because BECAUSE women must obey the laws just as men do, They should vote equally with men. BECAUSE women pay taxes just as men do, thus supporting the government, They should vote equally with men. BECAUSE women suffer from bad government just as men do, They should vote equally with men. BECAUSE mothers want to make their children's surroundings better, They should vote equally with men. BECAUSE over 5,000,000 women in the United States are wage workers and their health and that of our future citizens are often endangered by evil working conditions that can only be remedied by legislation, They should vote equally with men. BECAUSE women of leisure who attempt to serve the public welfare should be able to support their advice by their votes, They should vote equally with men. BECAUSE busy housemothers and professional women cannot give such public service, and can only serve the state by the same means used by the busy men--namely, by casting a ballot, They should vote equally with men. BECAUSE women are sonsumers, and sonsumers need fuller representation in politics, They should vote equally with men. BECAUSE women are citizens of a government of the people, by the people and for the people, and women are people. They should vote equally with men. EQUAL SUFFRAGE FOR MEN AND WOMEN. WOMEN Need It. MEN Need IT. The STATE Needs IT. WHY? BECAUSE Women Ought to GIVE Their Help. Men Ought to HAVE Their Help. The State Ought to USE Their Help.

Free Our Districts! End Gerrymandering. [bumper sticker]
Bumper sticker created by OneVirginia2021, an American civic non-profit organization founded to advocate for a non-partisan redistricting of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Formed in 2014, OneVirginia2021 is made up of people from across the political spectrum, including Republicans, Democrats, and TEA party members. Sticker text: "Free Our Districts! End Gerrymandering. Authorized by the good people at OneVirginia2021 who are trying to stop politicians from rigging the system." Gerrymandering is the practice of setting the boundaries of electoral districts to favor specific political interests. The redrawing of district lines takes place after each new U. S. Census to ensure that the "one person one vote" requirement is met. Partisan gerrymandering works to increase the power of a political party. Racial gerrymandering weakens representation, and therefore the political power, of minority voters.

Here Comes Whiteman [American Nazi Party comic book]
White supremacist comic book created for the American Nazi Party by member John Patler. Born John C. Patsalos, John Patler joined the American Nazi Party in 1960 and changed his name. The ANP had its headquarters in Arlington, Va. In 1967 Patler was expelled from the ANP after disagreeing with founder George Lincoln Rockwell. On August 25, 1967, Patler shot and killed Rockwell at an Arlington, Va. shopping center. "Here Comes Whiteman" was part of the ANP's efforts to spread their ideas to a larger audience. Their promotional campaign included a variety of publications, flyers, and even 45 RPM records of white supremacist music. Supporters of the ANP were expected to read and distribute materials like this comic and The Stormtrooper Magazine. In this comic book, Whiteman is the secret identity of Lew Cor ("Roc Wel" spelled backwards) who makes deliveries for the Arlington Milk Co. Lew Cor speaks the secret words "Lieh Geis" ("Sieg Heil" backwards), and in a flash of lightning is transformed into Whiteman, a costumed superhero with a swastika on his chest. In this issue Whiteman fights an "interplanetary duel" with characters named "The Jew from Outer Space" and "Supercoon."

[Letter to Members of the National Woman's Party from Alice Paul]
This letter from Alice Paul, National Chairman of the National Woman's Party, to members of the National Woman's Party acts as an invitation to the Woman's Party's final convention to be held in Washington, D.C., February 15 - 19, 1921. During this convention it was to be decided whether the Woman's Party "shall go out of existence or take up a new program." Furthermore, this letter requests that members donate $5 towards the cost of the convention and "so that [the Woman's Party] may go out of existence or turn to some new work, with banners flying and head aloft..." "When we sent out our first appeal for funds in 1913 the task before us - that of changing the United States constitution so that women might vote everywhere in this country - seemed a task that held little hope of accomplishment for years to come. Now that it is accomplished, all who contributed, whether in personal service or in money, must feel that their help was not given in vain."

Candlelight AIDS memorial vigil on E. Grace Street, from St. Paul's Episcopal Church to Capitol Square, Richmond, Va.
In 1981, Dr. Michael Gottlieb of UCLA identified a new disease that, among its many signs, severely weakened the immune system. Named acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), this disease was initially seen among gay men in large cities. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), identified in 1985, is transmitted through blood, genital fluids (such as semen) and breastmilk. The earliest confirmed case of AIDS in the U.S. was in 1968, with the first case in Virginia reported in 1982. With no known cure, HIV/AIDS was initially a death sentence for those infected. Participants in this 1987 candlelight AIDS memorial vigil walked down E. Grace Street from St. Paul's Episcopal Churh to Capitol Square in Richmond, Va.
