INEZ MILHOLLAND BOISSEVAIN – Stories of an American suffragette, who led the 1913 Washington march, championing the black Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. Her death in 1916 galvanized the National Woman's Party, which launched picketing of Wilson's White House. After arrests of the picketers, and a hunger strike and maltreatment of the prisoners (force-feeding), public opinion changed. Wilson did too, and the 19th Amendment became law in 1920.

BOISSEVAIN | C. Walking 20th C. Amsterdam (Updated May 25, 2016)
Charles Boissevain has asked me to notify U.S. and Canadian family members. I have done that by posting here and on Facebook. I also have a few email addresses I have sent notices to.
The late Tice (Matthijs) Boissevain had a mailing list for the reunion in Boissevain, Manitoba, which I attended.
More information on the Reunion is available here.
