	Marching on Washington: CHAPTER ONE
		Coxey claimed the ceremonial spaces of the Capitol Building; it was "the property of people." In 1894, Coxey and Browne were pioneers—and unlikely ones at that.
		Coxey’s new focus on his right to speak shows how the experience of the long walk to Washington, the attacks on him and his supporters, and the disparagement of their political goals had shifted his attention from legislative changes to some basic premises about how American citizens could participate in national politics.
		Coxey and Browne never gave up on their fantasy of transforming the American political system with their "petition in boots." Despite the failure of their protest to win their political demands, both men continued to believe that marches on Washington belonged in the political repertoire and were constitutionally protected.
