Title
A name given to the resource
Black Panther Rally
Description
An account of the resource
In June 1970, the Black Panther Party held a rally on the steps of the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/33">Lincoln Memorial</a> promoting the proposed "Revolutionary People's Constitutional Convention," to be held that September in Philadelphia. The goal of the Convention was to rewrite the US Constitution to ensure equal rights for oppressed groups, including African Americans, women, and young people. The organizers of the rally chose June 19, or Juneteenth, for its significance as the day in 1865 when enslaved peoples living in Texas were finally freed. Roughly 1,000 people attended the Mall rally.

Description
An account of the resource
In March 1990, disability rights activists gathered at the west front of the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/59">Capitol</a> to pressure the House of Representatives to pass a disability rights bill. The bill passed in the Senate the year before, but it stalled in the House. Nearly 1,000 people attended the rally. To protest the lack of accessibility inside the building, 60 people discarded their mobility devices and crawled up the 83 stone steps to the Capitol. Some Congressmen responded negatively to the protest, but it was successful: President George H. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act into law on July 26, 1990.

An account of the resource
While not an exact image of the Mall, this abolitionist print shows the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/267">role of the federal city in the interstate slave trade</a> in the early 1800s. Slaves worked, lived, were <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/46">held captive, and sold</a> within sight of the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/59">Capitol building</a>. In this print, the dome of the Capitol is visible above the head of a woman who, with her children, is being forced onto a slave ship, possibly sold to the deep south where working conditions were often very harsh, even deadly.

Description
An account of the resource
On October 30, 2010, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert led a rally on the National Mall. The event was a combination of Stewart’s “Rally to Restore Sanity” and Colbert’s “March to Keep Fear Alive”. The event drew 215,000 people and was thought to be a satire or spoof of events such as Glen Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally. The satirical nature of the rally was a symbol of the normalization of protest on the Mall.

Biographical Text
The Bonus March was a protest and occupation of the National Mall by World War I veterans who were demanding pensions. Lack of work because of the Great Depression made the need for pensions particularly pressing. Nearly 43,000 participated in the protest. Some camped on the Mall or nearby, while others occupied government-owned buildings near the Mall. <br /><br />On July 28, 1932, Attorney General William D. Mitchell ordered the veterans be removed from the Mall and their other camps. Resistance to police pressure led to an outbreak of violence. Many were injured, but Carlson was mortally wounded and <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/407">William Hushka</a> was killed. When police action proved insufficient to remove the protesters, Army Chief of Staff <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/115">Douglas MacArthur </a>brought soldiers onto the Mall, supported by six tanks, to remove the remaining demonstrators and burn their shelters and belongings.
