1923 - Florence Hanlin

 Florence Hanlin as "Columbia" 💥

In 1923, seventy-five years after the first gathering at Wesleyan Chapel, Women returned to Seneca Falls not to commemorate the past, but to demand the future. Organized by leaders of the National Woman's Party, the 1923 Women’s Rights Convention marked the introduction of the Equal Rights Amendment, declaring that the vote was not the finish line. Equality under the law was.

In the dramatic pageant staged for the anniversary, Florence Hanlin portrayed "Justice",  a living embodiment of what Women had always demanded and still had not fully received. The message was unmistakable: rights delayed are justice denied. The movement had not softened. It had sharpened.

This was not nostalgia. It was a warning… and a promise.
