LETTER FROM MDPL CHAIR

Welcome to the 2020 edition of Art Deco Weekend! Our theme this year is “Sheroes: Women Who Made a Difference.” We are commemorating the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution, which gave American women the right to vote.

We are also celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Barbara Baer Capitman, the principal founder of the Miami Design Preservation League. Now that’s a woman who made a difference! And you can see the results of Barbara’s advocacy all around you in the beautifully preserved hotels along Ocean Drive, the commercial buildings on Collins Avenue and Washington Avenue, the apartment buildings in the Flamingo Park neighborhood and the single family homes west of the Park. Hers was a completely original vision; MDPL was the first Art Deco Society in the world. And she didn’t stop there - she also founded the Miami Beach Development Corporation to encourage investment in the restoration of our beautiful architecture and the World Congress on Art Deco to promote Art Deco architecture around the world.

Other women who have made a difference, and who we are celebrating this Art Deco Weekend, include Susan B Anthony and the Suffragists, Sojourner Truth, Ida B Wells, Alice Paul, Marjorie Stone Douglas and many more. If you don’t know some of those names (or even if you do), be sure to take in the exhibit “Unfinished Business” in the museum of the Art Deco Welcome Center. Finally, we’re honoring the women who continue to work today to promote historic preservation throughout the world and in Miami Beach, especially the women who are on the MDPL Board, who are on the staff of MDPL, who volunteer for us (especially tour guides), and who continually work to improve the quality of life in Miami Beach, So let’s all revel together in the joys of Art Deco Weekend! We’ve got more activities for you than you can possibly fit into your ADW schedule - music, food, shopping, guided tours, films, lectures and more. I personally recommend the Jazz Age Art Deco VIP Lounge, the Ocean Drive and Beyond walking tour, the Flamingo Park neighborhood House Tour, the official MDPL Gift Shop, the Original Miami Beach Antiques Show Promenade, our series of Art Deco films at O-Cinema, and Kathleen Skolnik’s lecture at the Wolfsonian Museum on the amazing art of Hildreth Meiere, whose decorative art graces the facades and interiors of some of the most iconic Art Deco buildings in America. You can find the details for all these events in this Program Guide. And there’s lots more to choose from.

Have a great Art Deco Weekend!

WOMEN’S WORK: Selections from A Universe of Things

By Lea Nickless & Shoshana Resnikoff

Located in the heart of the Miami Beach’s Art Deco district, The Wolfsonian–FIU is a museum with collections spanning 1850–1950, a century marking momentous shifts in the roles of women.

Women’s participation in the modern

world—whether as workers inside or outside the home, or as creators and subjects of art—is one of the focuses of a new exhibition at The Wolfsonian, A Universe of Things: Micky Wolfson Collects. The show examines museum founder Mitchell

Art ArtDeco DecoWeekend Weekend | | 12 12 | | Miami MiamiBeach Beach2019 2020

“Micky” Wolfson, Jr.’s life’s work: a collection spanning continents and decades, a diverse yet interconnected universe of things made by men and women.

Wolfson is driven to uncover works that he considers historically underappreciated or overlooked. While the 20th century witnessed enormous strides in women’s rights and movement toward economic freedom, women continued to face challenges in making advances and gaining recognition. Attentive to these unsung heroines, Wolfson collected multiple works that reflect the visibility women achieved as designers of domestic architecture, makers of art, and workers in the new industrial economy.

He was also drawn to acquire artifacts of domestic life that show how principles of efficiency, borrowed from industry, impacted women as homemakers. Even as women stepped with greater frequency into new spheres of activity, they also maintained their roles as caretakers and keepers of the home. The following are just a few of the objects in A Universe of Things that serve to explore and complicate women’s roles in the modern world.

The Wolfsonian-FIU’s first exhibition on Art Deco is a sight to behold. Visit the museum at 11th and Washington Avenue, just down the street from the Art Deco Welcome Center.

The Industrial Revolution gave rise to new opportunities for women to work outside the home. Twelve-year-old Elizabeth “Lizzie” Parent, the subject of this stained-glass window, started her long career with Johnson & Johnson in 1886, the year it was founded. She was one of fourteen original employees, eight of whom were women. The company grew rapidly and, at a time when opportunities for professional growth for women were limited, she thrived, holding executive leadership roles over her 55-year career.

By all accounts, Johnson & Johnson was a progressive company, providing women with opportunities and paying above the national average.

Lizzie was 63 when this portrait was commissioned in 1936 for a new personnel building at the company headquarters.

The window depicts Lizzie toward the end of her career, representing the label department. In 1941, Johnson & Johnson honored Lizzie for 55 years of service

half as good. Fortunately, that’s not too difficult.” Through it all, Whyte overcame deep-rooted gender discrimination to win more than 120 racing trophies over a nearly 60-year career.

Whyte captured this trophy in 1939 for the 50-mile K. K. Culver Trophy Race, part of the annual All-American Air Maneuvers in Miami. Designed by American industrial designer Viktor Schreckengost, the trophy was described as “of strictly modern design, depicting the feminine spirit of flight, restless even in repose.”

In addition to entering the workforce, women also made inroads in the fields of design, architecture, and art. Despite these efforts, women artists and makers faced enormous challenges in gaining recognition for their creative work.

Nurse Edna Gardner Whyte made her first solo airplane flight in 1927. Immediately hooked, she began spending much of her paycheck on her new passion, soon making payments on a $600 biplane, monthly hangar rental, repairs, and gas.

By 1935, however, she was earning enough providing flight instruction, winning races, and carrying passengers to retire from nursing. Later thwarted in her goal of becoming a commercial pilot, she opened a successful flight school where she trained as many as 5,000 pilots. A wall-hanging in her office at her flight school read, “A woman has to do twice as much as a man to be considered

boxing champion Joe Louis after seeing a newsreel of his defeat of Germany’s Max Schmelling. At the time, the match captured the world’s attention as a representation of the struggle between democracy and fascism, good and evil.

Intensely focused on her artistic career, Yates’s life was erratic. She moved constantly with her two children, evading creditors and borrowing money. Despite her obvious talent, she was never able to fully succeed. Her son, acclaimed author Richard Yates, stated in his 2004 biography, “except for some fugitive pieces in private collections, her work seems to have totally disappeared.” At least this heroic bust remains as testament.

Margaret Schütte-Lihotzky, born in Vienna in 1897, was the first female Austrian architecture graduate. In 1926, she designed a revolutionary kitchen intended as a “housewife’s laboratory” for affordable housing in Frankfurt. Known as the Frankfurt Kitchen, her unified concept featured efficiency, hygiene, and standardization with the intent of easing the burden of domestic labor, primarily the purview of women. Providing storage for cooking ingredients such as barley, rice, flour, and spices, each aluminum container was clearly labeled with an ergonomi-

cally designed handle for easy access and ease in measuring or pouring the correct volume. Made by a woman for women, some 10,000 of the mass-produced prefabricated kitchens were in working-class apartments by 1930. The Frankfurt Kitchen is considered the prototype of the now ubiquitous built-in kitchen. She was only 29 years old at the time but didn’t receive recognition for this important work until much later in life.

Also Viennese and born a year after Margaret Schütte-Lihotzky, artist Annie Eisenmenger studied sculpture and created this massive ceramic triptych for an international exposition of modern Christian art in Padua, Italy, in 1931. The fair, which was held in honor of Saint Anthony of Padua, was a collaboration between the local diocese and Mussolini’s Fascist government, and followed a format set by secular expositions and world fairs. She later illustrated Konrad Lorenz’ book Man Meets Dog and created a mosaic mural of Saint Francis of Assisi at the Schoenbrunn Zoo in Vienna but little else is known of her creative output.

LECTURE SERIES Made possible with the generous support and assistance of the Wolfsonian-FIU and our stellar line-up of speakers. This year’s lectures are centered around our festival theme “Sheroes: Women Who Made a Difference.”

Saturday, Jan 18th COVER GIRLS 11AM - 12PM Alison Fraunhar, Ph.D. Publisher and artist Conrado Massaguer played a major role in shaping early 20th-century Cuban visual culture through his influential magazines Social and Carteles. Under Massaguer’s art direction, illustrators such as Jaime Valls and Andres García Benítez crafted an indelible style that combined international graphic trends with uniquely Cuban elements, particularly in depictions of stylish and alluring women. In this in-depth look at their most memorable cover designs, art historian Alison Fraunhar examines these artists’ many contradictions—exploring how they at once glamorized recognizably Cuban women and offered a critique of Cuba’s social conditions.

Alison Fraunhar, Ph.D. is Professor Emeritus from the Department of Art and Design at Saint Xavier University in Chicago. She has researched` and written about Cuban art since her first trip to the island in 1997, and sits on the editorial board of Cuban Studies. Her research and writing interests have centered on issues of race, gender and representation in Cuban popular visual culture, art and cinema. She has published numerous articles and reviews on Cuban art, culture, film and architecture, and her book Mulata Nation:Visualizing Race and Gender was published by University of Mississippi Press in 2018.

She co-curated the exhibition and cultural exchange “Cross Currents” at the Smart Museum in 2019.

ON THE CUTTING EDGE 1PM - 2PM Kathleen Murphy Skolnik Hildreth Meière’s murals, mosaics, and stained-glass windows beautify some of the most iconic buildings in New York, yet few today know her name. A prominent designer in an industry dominated by men, Meière introduced America to the modernism of Art Deco through her commissions for St. Bartholomew’s Church, Radio City Music Hall, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and the WPA. Join Kathleen Skolnik, co-author of The Art Deco Murals of Hildreth Meière, as she discusses Meière’s work and the savvy business sensibilities that propelled her 40-year career forward—right through the art world’s glass ceiling, but somehow not into most history books.

Kathleen Murphy Skolnik teaches art and architectural history at Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois and leads seminars on Art Deco design at the Newberry Library, a private research library also in Chicago. She is the co-author of The Art Deco Murals of Hildreth Meière and a contributor to the recently published Art Deco Chicago: Designing Modern America.

From 2008 to 2016 she was the editor of the Chicago Art Deco Society Magazine and currently serves on the Advisory Board of the Art Deco Society of New York.

SKY HIGH 3PM - 4PM Lea Nickless “A woman has to do twice as much as a man to be considered half as good.

Art Deco Weekend | 18 | Miami Beach 2020

Fortunately, that’s not too difficult.” – wall-hanging from Edna Gardner Whyte’s Aero Valley Flight School Amelia Earhart wasn’t America’s only trailblazing aviatrix! Wolfsonian research curator Lea Nickless invites you to imagine yourself in 1939 Miami, under a sky filled with the hum of racing planes flown by women. Standing tall as firstplace champion of the All-American Air Maneuvers’ 50-mile Women’s Sportsman Free-For-All was Edna Gardner Whyte, a nurse-turned-aviator who won 120 racing trophies over her 60-year flying career and trained as many as 5,000 pilots through her successful flight school. Nickless will focus on how Whyte and her female peers dared to tell draconian gender barriers to “eat my dust” and empowered themselves to become legends of the sky. After the talk, we’ll fly up to the 6th floor to view Edna’s 1939 trophy, currently on display in A Universe of Things.

Lea Nickless is a multifaceted museum professional with over 30 years of experience. She currently serves as research curator for the Wolfsonian—FIU where she has worked with founder Micky Wolfson on collection acquisitions, management, and exhibitions since before the museum’s inception. She has also served as curator and project manager for various initiatives.

She is co-curator of the current Wolfsonian exhibition A Universe of Things: Micky Wolfson Collects, and served as editor, writer, researcher and project manager for the 2019 publication Founder’s Choice.

Ms. Nickless is an accomplished multi-media artist in her own right, having numerous solo and group exhibitions. She holds a B.A. in Studio Art from Scripps College, Claremont, California.

BUILDING WOMEN 6PM - 7PM Silvia Barisione and Shoshana Resnikoff

For a long time in architecture, men were building a man’s world. But who were the women quietly revolutionizing the field?

Enter Marion Mahony Griffin and Margaret Staal-Kropholler, early 20th-century pioneers of architecture’s Prairie and Amsterdam School styles, respectively. Listen as Wolfsonian curators Silvia Barisione and Shoshana Resnikoff profile Griffin, an unsung force behind Frank Lloyd Wright and one of the first licensed female architects in the world, and Staal-Kropholler, the first to professionally practice in the Netherlands. Whether designing with the average housewife in mind or inventing new construction methods, these architects broke the mold and left lasting impressions in domestic and urban environments from Indiana to India. Join us as we marvel at the vision and ambition that equipped Griffin and Staal-Kropholler to not only make it in their field, but stand out.

Silvia Barisione is senior curator at The Wolfsonian–FIU, Miami Beach. Until 2011, she has been founding curator at the Wolfsoniana in Genoa, Italy. Silvia earned undergraduate and master’s degrees in art history and German literature from the University of Genoa. Her research focuses primarily on twentieth-century decorative arts and design and pre war Italian architecture. She has curated and co-curated numerous exhibitions including Under Mussolini: Decorative and Propaganda Arts of the Twenties and Thirties; Pubblicità e Propaganda: Ceramica e grafica futuriste; The Rebirth of Rome; Modern Dutch Design; and Deco: Luxury to Mass Market.

Micky Wolfson Collects, and Deco: Luxury to Mass Market. She received her MA from the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture at the University of Delaware.

Sunday, Jan 19th THE EARLY DAYS OF THE ART DECO DISTRICT • 11AM - 12PM Andrew William Capitman Barbara Capitman, her family’s early projects, political activism in the context of historic preservation.

Barbara Baer Capitman and her husband, William Capitman, were political progressives and early movers in the environmental movement. She translated her political perspective and decades of work as an interior design journalist and publicist for leading industrial designers into the successful (against all odds) campaign to recognize and preserve the Art Deco District. She had her family’s support and the first restorations in the Art Deco District were organized, financed and designed by her son Andrew and daughter-in-law Margaret Doyle.

Andrew William Capitman, one of Barbara Baer Capitman’s two sons, was a co-founder of the Miami Design Preservation League in 1976, founder of Art Deco Weekend and General Partner of Art Deco Hotels, Limited, the first private group to acquire and restore historic district properties beginning in 1979. Capitman’s first project, the Cardozo Hotel, opened the Café Cardozo, Ocean Drive’s first “front porch” restaurant in 1981. Designed

by Capitman’s wife, Margaret Anne Doyle, who also designed the next Ocean Drive

restaurant to open, the Carlyle Grill at the Carlyle Hotel, these restaurants attracted a creative and international clientele and were the first concrete visions of a restored Art Deco District. Capitman received his BA at Yale and his MA at the University of Miami School of Business & Economics. He is an investment banker and lives in New York City.

SHEROES: THE FIGHT FOR WOMEN’S SUFFRAGE AND BEYOND 1PM - 2PM Dr. Lynette Long In honor of the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage Dr. Long will explore the story of the 72-year-long battle waged by the suffragists for the right to vote. It is a long harrowing journey where suffragists endured discrimination, imprisonment and torture. When women finally earned the right to vote with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, the battle for gender equality was far from over. Dr. Long will highlight the current challenges women face and her personal work breaking the bronze ceiling.

Dr. Lynette Long is a licensed psychologist and former college professor. She is the founder and president of Equal Visibility Everywhere (EVE), a not-for-profit which focuses on researching the under-representation of women on our nation’s symbols and icons: currency, stamps, statues,

monuments and memorials, and historical markers. Long’s groundbreaking research has been cited by major media outlets all over the country. She has published thirty books and dozens of articles and has written two award-winning plays.

SHERO OF MIAMI BEACH: THE JANE FISHER STORY • 3PM - 4PM Paula Fletcher In honor of Miami Beach’s lecture series on woman who made a difference. Paula Fletcher delves into the story of the wife of Carl Fisher, the founder of Miami Beach. A hard drinking, cigar smoking millionaire Hoosier who carved a city out of a jungle and married for the first time at 35, Fisher brought his new bride Jane Watts Fisher to Miami in 1912. He battled all odds to turn a narrow barrier island of mangroves, coconut and avocado groves into the

vibrant tourist mecca that became Miami Beach. Meanwhile Jane entertained the nouveau riche of the time with elegant parties, travelled to Europe and enjoyed a hedonistic lifestyle that rivals that of today. Jane survived tragedy, loss and 3 husbands to eventually return years later to reclaim the throne as Carl’s widow.

Paula Fletcher is a retired business executive from the UK and an MDPL tour guide with 10 years of introducing tourists and locals to the Art Deco pastel palaces that surround us in the Historic District of Miami Beach. During her time as a guide with the Preservation League, she has given tours to over 25,000 people. She now resides permanently back in the UK with her two cats, Ella and Ally who generously allow her occasional visits to her beloved Miami Beach.

LOOKING BACK 40 YEARS:

HOW BARBARA BAER CAPITMAN

Saved the Art Deco District

By Andrew William Capitman

Editor’s Note: Art Deco Weekend 2020 celebrates one hundred years since the birth of MDPL founder Barbara Baer Capitman – born the same year that women gained the right to vote in elections.

The Miami Beach Art Deco District became the first urban 20th Century National Register Historic District in May 1979, less than three years after the battle to preserve this unique 1930’s resort neighborhood was conceived. In 1976, Miami Beach was a decaying, declining, boring town - the uncoolest part of a generally not-too-cool Dade County. The grand hotels were broke, the nightclubs shuttered, the dog track demolished, and the residents overwhelmingly Jewish and ancient. Even the famous beach itself had mostly washed away. If a hipster visited Miami Beach it would be to visit his or her grandmother. “Such a pretty girl. Why aren’t you married?” the old ladies in aluminum chairs on the hotel porches of Ocean Drive would say as the young visitor scurried away. The architecture? Who even thought of it? The glory days? What glory days?

The drive to save, restore, revitalize, and honor what became known as the Art Deco District, arose out of grief. My mother, Barbara Baer Capitman, was mourning for her husband and my father, William Capitman, who died unexpectedly in the summer of 1975. He was 54 years old. On summer vacation, after his second year teaching in the business school of Florida International University, Barbara and Bill rented a cot-

tage in Maine as a base from which to look for a new summer place after the previous year’s sale of their old captain’s house on Martha’s Vineyard. Bill took ill and died two weeks later in Boston.

Barbara, my brother John, then entering his senior year at Yale, and I (24 years old at my father’s death) retreated to the Vineyard in August. Friends had loaned us a tiny isolated cabin deep in the dunes with no electricity. We huddled together in our sadness and resolved that my mother — a journalist, publicist, market researcher, and an artist’s daughter — would never again work for material gain. Instead, her aim would be to make a contribution to society by fighting over-development, ecological desecration, unbridled corporate greed . . . the hazards my father’s scholarship had

the 1930s, like the fabulous lounges at Radio City Music Hall. In the early 1970s, she had gone back to graduate school in art history at Carnegie Mellon. Her sensibilities were refined and imbued with modern scholarship. The City of Miami Beach, with intensive lobbying by Stephen Muss (developer of the Seacoast Towers properties, who had just purchased the near-derelict Fontainebleau for a song) and smooth New York investment bankers from First Boston Realty, had created the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency. The Agency was promoting a plan to demolish everything on the Beach from 5th Street south to build a massive “Venetian” canalled complex of thousands of condo units. This redevelopment would carry north to Lincoln Road in its next phase. Residents

sought to reveal. With this idealistic compact made, Barbara and I dropped John off in New Haven and slowly drove back down the east coast to Miami. Idealistic though it might have seemed, it was entirely consistent with my parents’ Depression-era pre-McCarthy leftwing views (Barbara and Bill met at a May Day party after all).

A year later, the Miami Design Preservation League was born. Barbara remembered Miami Beach in the 1930s, as she had spent the better part of a year in Florida with her mother in the mid-1930s.

In the 1950s, she had done public relations work for Donald Deskey, the modernist industrial designer, and knew his work from

of these low-rise neighborhoods would be displaced wholesale. Barbara had her issue.

The powers-that-be on Miami Beach didn’t know what hit them. Barbara was perceived as an “outside agitator.” In fact, that’s exactly what she was: A newcomer.

Not a property-owner. Not rich. Not an architect or city planner. Why was this little old lady making such a fuss? Two developers, Abe Resnick and Dov Dunaevsky, immigrants and Holocaust survivors, had become successful tearing down small 1930s apartment buildings and hotels and replacing them with style-less, much larger condo projects, all finished in cheerless beige and brown, which they sold to the

“The powers-that-be on Miami Beach didn’t know what hit them.

Barbara was perceived as an “outside agitator.” In fact, that’s exactly what she was: A newcomer. Not a property-owner. Not rich. Not an architect or city planner. Why

was this little old lady making such a fuss?” retirees. They were powerful, connected with the Miami Beach political machine.

Using her old-style leftist political training, Barbara built a coalition that drew heavily on the predominantly gay Dade County design community and gained the early support of nationally and internationally esteemed architects and artists Robert Venturi, Denise Scott-Brown, and Andy Warhol. Barbara’s most effective weapons were her writing (she had published about a dozen books) and public relations skills.

She loved journalists. Journalists loved her. She had an unerring sense for what was a publishable story. The developers became the perfect foils, the embodiments of destructive money lust pitted against the public interest of architectural, social, and environmental preservation. While they kept making money, MDPL’s publicity machine sliced their public images to bits… and they hated it.

Barbara recognized that Jimmy Carter’s administration (1977-1981) was keen to promote urban revitalization through historic preservation. With grants from Washington, MDPL took on the enormous task of completing an architectural survey of the mile-square swath of Miami Beach from 5th Street to Dade Boulevard and

from Ocean Drive to Alton Road, with more than 800 contributing buildings. By 1978, still with fierce opposition from the Miami Beach City Council and the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce, the Florida State Historic Preservation Board adopted the Miami Beach Art Deco District as a state historic district and passed it on to the National Register of Historic Places. National Register designation seemed assured, but local opposition was unremitting and local protection for the nation’s youngest historic district seemed an impossibility. In the fall of 1979, months after the national designation, Resnick and Dunaevsky tore down the wonderful New Yorker Hotel on Collins just below Lincoln Road. MDPL supporters picketed the demolition site, joined by a nationally loved soap opera diva (whose name I no longer recall). Said Resnick of the New Yorker, “If I owned the Mona Lisa, wouldn’t it be mine to destroy?”

- and the nation was outraged.

From its very start, Barbara and I had two strong convictions: First that the Art Deco District would only really take off when property owners and investors restored buildings and attracted commercial activity. Second, that no one was likely to lead the way if we didn’t do it ourselves.

Art Deco Weekend | 28 | Miami Beach 2020

In December 1978, I left my international banking career and used every penny Barbara and I had between us to put a deposit down on the 1939 Henry Hohauser-designed 70-room Cardozo Hotel, Frank Sinatra’s hotel in the film Hole in the Head. Twenty limited partners, including such local luminaries as Mitchell Wolfson Jr., backed the project. On June 25, 1979, two months after National Register Historic District designation, the Cardozo was ours. I came back from closing the deal and was sitting on the Cardozo porch in a daze when Margaret Anne Doyle arrived, a product of the Columbia University Historic Preservation program, sent from Washington to advise property owners on historic preservation tax benefits. We were married six months later and in January 1981, Margaret’s Café Cardozo, a sleek, charming, nostalgic confection, the first restaurant on a revitalizing Ocean Drive, became the embodiment of what the Art Deco District could become.

For five years I had breakfast with Barbara practically every morning at 7:30 at the R&R on Washington Avenue (long gone). Our efforts slowly gained momentum. MDPL and the Art Deco hotels that gradually opened worked hand in hand continuing the struggle to gain local support for the Art Deco District. I never had the chance to work with my father, but I learned so much from Barbara. More buildings were lost, but we continued to make progress. Lifelong Miami Beach residents like Neisen Kasdin built positive political careers supporting the Art Deco District.

In 1981, we launched Art Deco Weekend in its current format and publicist Al Wolfe (one of so many early District advocates we have lost to AIDS) brought 25 international travel writers to witness the spectacle.

In 1983, Christo took every room in the then seven-hotel Art Deco Hotel group and brought a throng of international art buffs to the District. That year, we mailed a package on the Art Deco District to every advertising agency creative director in America touting the District as the next new place for fashion photography.

Al Pacino drove a convertible around the corner of Ocean Drive and 13th Street in Scarface and in 1984 Miami Vice became a runaway hit, replete with scene after scene in the Art Deco District. They were heady times and the District continuously gained momentum.

Barbara Baer Capitman died in 1990.

She lived long enough to see the District take off and to found an international Art Deco preservation movement. I know she would have been happy to see the crowds at Art Deco Weekend and MDPL’s large, energetic, well-versed band of tour guides.

Barbara was an ardent Feminist and committed political progressive. She understood the media world of her time. Forty years after becoming a National Historic District, our neighborhood is once again a global vacation destination, this time with a wonderful visual and cultural story for all its visitors to enjoy,

CLASSIC CAR SHOW

Art Deco Weekend welcomes back the Classic Car Show presented by the Antique Automobile Club of America-South Florida Region, made up of enthusiasts of antique automobiles of all makes and models of cars, trucks and motorcycles from the early 1900s up to 1993. On Saturday (1/18) and Sunday (1/19), antique automobiles from all over Florida will be on display on Ocean Drive.

THE ANTIQUE AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF AMERICA-SOUTH FLORIDA REGION The South Florida Region is located in a part of the country that is known for great weather, so we have a lot of events and shows. We get the year off to an early start

with the two-day Art Deco Weekend Classic Car Show in January. The two days feature a car show on Saturday and Sunday of restored and un-restored cars and motorcycles 25 years or older that compete for trophies and for Best of Show in the following categories: Pre-War, Post-War, and Best Original.

Each day is its own show with trophies handed out on both Saturday and Sunday.

It all takes place in connection with the Art Deco Weekend Festival on South Beach held over the Martin Luther King weekend that fills up ten blocks of the famed Ocean Drive on Miami Beach with antiques, art, food, street performers, music and of course our cars.

The Battle for Women’s Suffrage “During the parade, the police failed to protect the marchers who were grabbed, pushed, shoved, tripped, spat on and blocked from marching. Hundreds of marchers were taken to a local hospital and the calvary was called to help control the crowd.”

By Lynette Long, Ph. D.

Editor’s Note: Visit the Art Deco Museum to see Unfinished Business: The Fight for Women’s Suffrage and Beyond, curated by Dr Lynette Long. The exhibition is on view through March 31st.

The United States was founded on the premise that men and women were not created equal, and were not equal citizens under the law. Women could not vote, own property, disobey their spouse, or practice medicine. To address this inequitable treatment, two courageous women, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, organized the first women’s rights convention in 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York. A Declaration of Sentiments, modeled after the Declaration of Independence, and presented at the con-

vention, provocatively declared we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women are created equal. The controversial quest for women’s suffrage had begun.

Twenty years after the Seneca Falls Convention, women were still not allowed to vote. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton teamed up to fight for a universal suffrage amendment. Lucy Stone and a second group of suffragists decided to fight for a woman’s right to vote on a state by state basis.

Twenty-one years after both of these initiatives, universal suffrage was still not the law and only four states had granted women suffrage: Wyoming, Utah, Washington, and Montana.

In response to the burgeoning suffrage movement, Josephine Dodge founded the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage. Like pro-suffrage groups, NAOWS held events and distributed publications. Anti-suffrage postcards and cartoons warned men of what would happen if women got the

right to vote. Sixty-five years after the Seneca Falls Convention, women still could not vote. Two young suffragists, Alice Paul (28) and Lucy Burns (33) in favor of more aggressive tactics, planned a Suffrage Parade on March 3, 1913 - the day before Woodrow Wilson’s Inauguration, on Pennsylvania Avenue. Lawyer and activist, Inez Milholland, would lead the parade on her horse Gray Dawn. Five

19th Amendment: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of sex.”

------------------Alice Paul and the National Women’s Party designed the three-striped suffrage flag. The purple stripe represents loyalty, the white stripe purity, and the gold stripe hope. The original suffrage flag had no stars. Alice Paul sewed one star on the flag each time a state ratified the 19th Amendment.

The Victory Flag has thirty-six stars representing the thirty-six states that ratified the 19th Amendment.

thousand marchers, twenty-four floats, nine bands, and four mounted brigades participated in the parade.

Initially there was disagreement whether African Americans should be allowed to participate in the parade, for fear of alienating the Southern states. The issue was never fully resolved. Four states-Michigan, Illinois, New York, and Delaware, marched as integrated units. Many of the other African American contingents marched at the back of the parade. Ida B, who founded the Alpha Suffrage Club, marched with the Illinois contingent.

During the parade, the police failed to protect the marchers who were grabbed, pushed, shoved, tripped, spat on and blocked from marching. Hundreds of marchers were taken to a local hospital and the calvary was called to help control the crowd.

After the parade in Washington, DC, parades and rallies were held all over the country, but there was still no progress toward women’s suffrage. Alice Paul, Lucy Burns and the newly formed National Women’s Party decided to stage a silent protest daily in front of the White House. Verbally harassed and physically attacked by onlookers, the Silent Sentinels continued to carry banners demanding the right to vote six days a week for over two-and-one-half years.

Instead of protecting the protesting suffragists as the public heckled and harassed them, the police repeatedly arrested the Silent Sentinels for blocking pedestrian traffic in front of the White House. On October 20, 1917, Alice Paul was arrested and sentenced to seven months in Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia. In prison, suffragists reported being tortured, beaten, and fed maggot-infested food. In response, the suffragists staged a hunger strike to protest. To retaliate, prison guards held them down and brutally force fed them raw eggs.

Art Deco Weekend | 52 | Miami Beach 2020

Public sentiment changed when the newspapers reported the barbaric treatment the suffragettes endured in jail.

President Wilson was forced to support their cause and on June 4, 1919, the19th Amendment to the United States Constitution was passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

After the thirty-five states ratified the 19th Amendment, suffragists wearing yellow roses and anti-suffragists wearing red rose, descended upon the Tennessee State House to watch the upcoming vote.

The deciding vote was in the hands of newly elected 23-year old Harry Burn, who carried a letter in his pocket from his widowed mother urging him to vote for ratification. When he voted “Aye”, the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote was officially adopted.

In honor of these brave women who valiantly fought for suffrage, the Art Deco Museum is proud to present a new exhibit, Unfinished Business: The Fight for Suffrage and Beyond. The exhibit brings

to life the story of the 72-year battle for suffrage and the contentious relationship between pro-suffrage and anti-suffrage forces. Visitors may take their photo in front of the famous suffrage parade carrying a protest sign or vote on what they believe is the most important issue facing women today. This unique exhibit is designed to enlighten and engage museum guests.

Please join The Art Deco Museum in celebrating 100 years of women’s suffrage.
