The use of Washington DC as a public sphere for protests, rather than ceremonies, got it's start with Coxey's Army in 1894. The group wanted to end the misery of unemployed workers by building roads and new community centers throughout the US. They, of course, were vilified as socialists and prevented from using the Capital Grounds. Among the other marches covered by this work are those of the Suffragists, the Bonus Army, the Civil Rights Marches, and the Anti-war marches. As the author goes through the various marches, she shows the progressive acceptance of the use of marches for political purposes.
