Maddie Smith and her mother, from Maryland, is seen at the anniversary of the Women’s March on Saturday, January 20, 2018 in Washington, DC. I photographed her earlier in 2017 at the March for Truth DC, so it was a great surprise to run in to her in such a large gathering. I asked her why she came to this event and she offered, “Because I support democracy, the rule of law and everything that Lady Liberty stands for.” Thousands of people gathered at the Lincoln Memorial for the anniversary of the Women’s March DC, and for March on the Polls with the goal of advancing peaceful and positive progress in communities across the country, and ensuring all women and their allies persist in civic and political roles moving into 2018. Sister marches took place around the country and around the world.
