White House History @WhiteHouseHstry - On a cold winter day in 1918, Mary Church Terrell received a call from the National Woman’s Party headquarters with a familiar request: “Will you come to picket the White House this afternoon?”
The suffragists, led by Alice Paul, planned to gather in front of the White House gates to pressure President Woodrow Wilson and members of Congress to support women’s suffrage.
As a dedicated advocate for women’s voting rights, Terrell joined frequently to picket the White House.
Terrell’s involvement in the suffrage movement began several years before she joined the picketers.
In 1896, she helped found the National Association of Colored Women (NACW) and was elected as its first president.
On February 18, 1898, Terrell spoke before NAWSA and advocated for the inclusion of African-American women in suffrage organizations.
