Here's footage of a women's rights march in New York City during the 1970s.
Clip begins with a low-angled, tracking shot of NYC buildings followed by a wide shot of this well-attended women’s right march.
A banner reads “NEW YORK RADICAL FEMINISTS.”
Two women carry their babies and talk to each other as they march.
Two different women carry a sign that reads “N.O.W. LEGISLATIVE ONE TO TONE COMMITTEE” and “JOIN US IN PERSONAL LIASION [sic] WITH N.Y. STATE LEGISLATORS.”
People watch the march from the side of the street.
A woman carries a sign that reads “LOVE ME LESS. RESPECT ME MORE.” Yet another nearby sign says “OUR FIRST SIGNS OF SUCCESS!! BACKLASH TOKENISM UNCLE TOMS.”
A mother walks screen right, holding her baby as she marches forward. The mother smiles and her baby holds a piece of paper. Marchers are in the background.
In the final shot, a large photo of Susan B. Anthony is carried on the march. Anthony played a role in the women’s suffrage movement.
