Title
English: Young women in costume holding banners at the "Pageant of Democracy" in Woodland Park, Seattle, July 5,1920
Description
English: A "Pageant of Democracy," celebrating the history and promise of democracy across the globe, was performed in Woodland Park as part of Seattle's 1920 Fourth of July celebrations held on Monday, July 5. The event was one of several put on by the Central Labor Council in Woodland Park that day. Nearly all of those taking part in the "Pageant of Democracy" were members of organized labor unions. One scene from the pageant depicted all 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, dressed in wigs and colonial era dress; other scenes showed performers dressed as historical, allegorical and everyday figures related to the history of democracy, such as Joan of Arc, Abraham Lincoln, an ancient Greek, and ordinary people of various cultures. Nineteen nationalities joined in the closing scene of the pageant, titled "World Democracy for All."

In this photo, young women in costume pose holding banners. The six banners read: "Free Press,""Free Speech,""Political Democracy,""Free Assembly," International Justice and Peace," and "Industrial Democracy."
