SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL GIRL GANG, 2017

 Item — Box: 6

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Women's March on Lansing protest signs and ephemera collection is a sampling of the messages displayed at the protest. A particularly iconic feature of the protests are the knitted pink "pussy hats" which refer to a recorded 2005 conversation with Donald Trump who described grabbing women by their genitals. The corners of the hats resembled cat ears, playing on the word "pussy" also referring to cats. Also included in the collection are dozens of born-digital images created and donated by Courtney Smith.
