Proclamation Celebrates Hyattsville's Role in Women's History
Current, former women city council members gather for proclamation.
From left to right, former Ward 2 Hyattsville City Councilor Anna Frankle, Councilor Ruth Ann Frazier (Ward 5), Councilor Shani Warner (Ward 2) and Councilor Candace Hollingsworth (Ward 1) stand as Frazier reads a proclamation honoring women's history month in Hyattsville.
The proclamation highlighted Hyattsville's role as a staging ground for a large, innovative 1913 motorized protest which saw thousands of women drive from Magruder Park to Congress to deliver a petition in support of women's suffrage.
