Women's March On Versailles
The Women's March on Versailles, also known as the Black March, the October Days or simply the March on Versailles, was one of the earliest and most significant events of the French Revolution. The march began among women in the marketplaces of Paris who, on the morning of 5 October 1789, were nearly rioting over the high price of bread. The unrest quickly became intertwined with the activities of revolutionaries seeking liberal political reforms and a constitutional monarchy for France. The market women and their allies ultimately grew into a crowd of thousands. Encouraged by revolutionary agitators, they ransacked the city armory for weapons and marched on the Palace of Versailles. The crowd besieged the palace and, in a dramatic and violent confrontation, they successfully pressed their demands upon King Louis XVI. The next day, the crowd forced the king and his family to return with them to Paris. Over the next few weeks most of the French National Constituent Assembly (Franc ...

In February 2018, the Women's March faced controversy when reports emerged that three of its four lead organizers had attended events hosted by Louis Farrakhan. Accusations that the leaders failed to condemn Antisemitism, antisemitic remarks made by Farrakhan and broader concerns about antisemitism within the organization led co-founder Teresa Shook to call for their resignations.
