Deeds not words..... Marjory Hume

 

In the path of a famous Suffragette called Marjory - some history I did not know about all that time walked passed this statue too. My hijab today the colours of the Suffragettes. From 1908, the WSPU adopted the colour scheme of violet, white and green: purple symbolised dignity, white purity, and green hope.

Some history I was told about today so here is a link to read more. 
St Stephen’s Hall (where a statue of Viscount Falkland is still missing a spur thanks to Suffragette Marjorie Hume, who chained herself to it in 1909). After women were banned from the Houses of Parliament, many suffrage protests took place in here.

There is a statue of Viscount Falkland in St Stephens Hall, in the Houses of Parliament. On the 27 April 1909, a suffragette named Marjory Hume, chained herself to the statue, shouting "Deeds not words". When the chains were removed the top half of the spur on Falkland's right boot was broken off; the damage can be seen to this day. It is a common misconception that Falkland's sword was broken during this incident. Instead the sword broke shortly after the statue was installed in St Stephens Hall.
