Boston Anti-War Parade (1917)

Sun Jul 01, 1917

On this day in 1917, approximately 8,000 anti-war activists organized a parade in Boston opposing World War I, conscription, and American imperialism. They carried banners that read:

IS THIS A POPULAR WAR, WHY CONSCRIPTION?

WHO STOLE PANAMA? WHO CRUSHED HAITI?

WE DEMAND PEACE.

According to the New York Call, 8,000 people marched, including "4000 members of the Central Labor Union, 2000 members of the Leftist Socialist Organizations, 1500 Lithuanians, Jewish members of cloak trades, and other branches of the party." The parade was attacked by soldiers and sailors, on orders from their officers.
