In 1913, Nellie Quander, president of Alpha Kappa Alpha—the nation’s oldest Black sorority—wrote to Alice Paul, chair for an upcoming D.C. suffrage parade. “We do not wish to enter if we must meet with discrimination on account of race affiliation. Can you assign us to a desirable place in the college women’s section?” Quander asked.
Parade planners questioned whether African American women would be allowed to participate, and if they would be segregated. Paul attempted to exclude Black women from participating because she feared white women would not march alongside them, but the National American Woman Suffrage Association forced Paul to allow participation. One plan had white and African American women marchers separated by men’s suffrage leagues.
Accounts of what actually transpired differ. Many African American suffragists were segregated, but not all.
Some women of color opposed the attempt to racially segregate the parade by walking by white women. Civil rights crusader Ida B. Wells-Barnett marched alongside the all-white Illinois delegation and lawyer Marie Louise Bottineau Baldwin (Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa) marched with fellow woman lawyers.
