Picketing the White House - Photo 7

On October 20, 1917, the day after police announced that future picketers would receive a sentence of six months for unlawful protest, Alice Paul led the picket line. The banner reads, "The time has come to conquer or submit for there is but one choice - we have made it." This group would receive six months at Occoquan Workhouse for their protest.
