On April 9, 1995, the National
Organization for Women held a rally on The
Mall in Washington, D.C. Rally organizers estimated that the crowd exceeded
200,000 people; government officials claimed 50,000.
NOW has
a set of pages related to the March available on the Internet. If
you have info on other Web or gopher pages that deal with the rally,
please let me know.
The thumbnail pix on the map below are cropped, black-and-white versions of
the pictures you'll get if you click on them. Click on the picture you want to
see the full-color, uncropped jpegs, or choose the pictures from the text
below the imagemap.
The pictures are (clockwise from 12:00 on the image):
- Family (85K)
- a father and son watching the rally.
- Mother? (96K)
- one of two larger-than-life puppets I saw at the rally.
- The Clothesline
Project (84K) - each T-shirt in
The Clothesline
Project represents a female victim of violence. (This picture shows
just a small portion of the project.)
- Milk or Blood?
(78K) - Robin Hymers is the creator of this decorated [desecrated?]
U.S. flag.
- Crowd
Estimates (129K) - a crowd shot, with the Washington Monument in
the background.
- On Our Backs
(74K) - a message to Newt scrawled acroos a topless woman's back. (I
also have a front shot, but prob. won't be posting it.)
Unfortunately, I overexposed half my shots, so a few will be a little dark.
(It was a VERY bright day.) I feel they are still well worth viewing.
