| Description | Cartoon shows an eighteenth century gentleman (Berryman's symbol for Washington, D.C.) seated in a chair gazing at a poster reading "156th Anniversary of the Boston Tea Party -- Dec. 16, 1929." Outside the window can be seen the Capitol labeled "Voteless Washington." The question of the right of the English Parliament to levy taxes on the American colonies led to the Boston Tea Party. The cartoonist, who generally depicted the District of Columbia as a colonist, deplores the fact that years later, residents of the District of Columbia still have no voting rights. The situation did not change until 1961 when the 23d Amendment gave them the right to vote for president. |
