Esther Rolle At ERA March

American actress Esther Rolle (1920 - 1998, foreground) sings and claps during the Equal Rights Amendment March, Washington DC, July 9, 1978. Among those visible in the background is NOW (National Organization for Women) President Eleanor Smeal (second left, leaning forward). Like many other supporters, they wear white in homage to the suffragists who had marched in Washington sixty-five years earlier. (Photo by Ann E. Zelle/Getty Images)
