WASHINGTON - One hundred years ago this Sunday, more than 5,000 women marched in
Washington for voting rights. The 1913 women's suffrage parade was a turning point in the fight for women to win
the right to vote, leading eventually to the 1920 passage of the 19th Amendment.
Marching with the Art Miles Mural Project in Balboa Park, the canvas-Silent Beauty will be alongside at Balboa Park, before leaving for the United Nations in New York and onto Paris.
