Inauguration crowd, Union Station (LOC)

  • cotinis said:
    The caption says "3/3/13", not "3/3/13". Wilson's 1st inauguration was 4 March 1913.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks for the catch! We'll fix the title in the source data and reload the description.
  • Rob Ketcherside said:
    I think the caption is a bit misleading. As @cotinis mentioned, the inauguration was on the 4th, pictured here. The crowds on March 3rd were watching the spectacle of the Suffrage Parade on Pennsylvania Avenue, pictured here. I think this crowd is welcoming the president elect to DC. Here's a quote from Jailed For Freedom, 1920, p.21.
    "Where are the people?" This was Woodrow Wilson's first question as he arrived at the Union Station in Washington the day before his first inauguration to the Presidency in March, 1913. "On the Avenue watching the suffragists parade," came the answer.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    roketpad: Thanks for the information. We will update the information and reload the description.
  • Rob Ketcherside said:
    It would be perfect if Wilson arrived while the parade was in progress (not sure on timing). Also, I'm guessing the crowd is looking at the car he's getting into... are they looking towards Pennsylvania Avenue?
