The Norfolk Convention, Equal Suffrage Leaque of Virginia

In a 1979 interview with the Richmond Times-Dispatch, suffragist Adele Clark (1882–1983) recalled: “I remember marching in a parade in New York with a contingent from Virginia...We were carrying the state flag. I saw a man on the side point to the flag and heard him comment, ‘See, that’s what will happen if women ever get the vote.’” Believing the flag was a suffragist banner, the onlooker assumed that the trampled ‘Tyrant’ was the victim of a woman voter.
