The Prohibition Party

The Prohibition Party is America's Oldest Third Party. It was founded in 1869 and as the name implies they have but one overriding issue: prohibition of alcohol.Their current platform is strictly religious right, calls the U.S. a Christian nation, and except for alcohol prohibition looks much like the Constitution Party's views, but historically (in the 1800s, at least) the party had an admixture of socialist, pacifist, and feminist crusaders mixed in with the usual fundamentalist Protestant crusaders. Their current platform also calls for the prohibition of abortion, gambling, and homosexual conduct, and stricter laws governing tobacco and "commercialized vice". They also encourage people to put their money into socially responsible investing, which is typically a left-wing cause but endorsed by the Prohibitionists because these funds do not invest in the liquor industry.

Harriet Marshall

Harriet Gibbs Marshall was born in Victoria, British Columbia, (1868-1941). In 1869 her family moved to Oberlin, Ohio. Marshall began her study of music at the age of nine and continued the pursuit at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music where she studied piano, pipe organ, and voice culture. Graduating in 1889, she was the first African American to complete the program and earn a Mus.B. degree, which at the time was Oberlin’s equivalent of a Bachelor of Music degree.
