Ida Wells-Barnett
- Ida Wells-Barnett: I'm told you expect Negro women to march in a separate unit. At the back.
- Alice Paul: Southern Suffrage groups threatened to withdraw...
- Ida Wells-Barnett: Are the ladies afraid we'll march out of step? Call their bluff.
- Alice Paul: We can't afford to lose their support. Not with the Democrats in office.
- Ida Wells-Barnett: Who's we? Women? Or just white women?
- Lucy Burns: Now wait a minute...
- Alice Paul: We have one agenda. Suffrage. Add another issue...
- Ida Wells-Barnett: If we don't stand up now, what happens to Negro women when you finally get the vote? They'll keep us out of the polling places any way they can.
- Alice Paul: Other colored groups have agreed to the compromise.
- Lucy Burns: Not perfect, but we've got to be practical.
- Ida Wells-Barnett: Dress up prejudice and call it politics? I expected more from a Quaker. I'll march with my peers, or not at all.
