EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Pacifists, 2 Apr 1917," captures a pivotal moment in American history as anti-war protesters gathered at the U.S. Capitol to voice their opposition to President Woodrow Wilson's address to Congress, asking for a declaration of war against Germany. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts a diverse crowd of men and women, some carrying signs and banners, others mounted on horses, and a few leading animals, all united in their peaceful protest. The scene is set before the imposing Capitol Building, with mounted police standing guard in the background. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the intense debates and deep divisions that marked the lead-up to America's entry into the First World War. Taken during the 1910s, this glass negative is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress and offers a glimpse into the rich history of political activism in the United States.
