It was the The Women's Sufferage March in DC
Interesting that Congress granted the women permission to march, but their police escort vanished soon after the parade began and the angry crowd watching - injured 200 (bad enough to send them to the Hospital) of the almost 10 thousand women who marched becoming the first political protesters to march in DC
The parade's purpose, stated in its official program, was to "march in a spirit of protest against the present political organization of society, from which women are excluded."
Woodrow Wilson (D) refused to acknowledge them for another four years - during WWI (declared 28 July 1914 and ended on 11 November 1918) which he stated demanded his attention - and Women didn't get a Constitutional amendment for the right to vote until 1920 and they weren't protected by law (nationally) until 1965. But congress did hold an investigation to determine why they were abandoned by the Police (no mention of anyone being held accountable)
Today 109 years later - we have Truckers pouring into DC to protest unconstitutional covid mandates that have destroyed our Nation's economy - with the shadow of WWIII looming
