The "We Want Beer" Parade of 1932
On May 14, 1932, New York City Mayor Jimmy Walker organized what was officially called the "Beer for Taxation" march — a protest against the 18th Amendment and the 13-year experiment of Prohibition. It quickly became known as the "We Want Beer!" parade. What started as a modest demonstration swelled to an estimated 100,000 to 150,000 marchers flooding the streets of Manhattan, continuing well into the evening. Marchers chanted "Beer for Prosperity" and carried signs demanding the repeal of Prohibition. Similar parades were held in cities across the country that same month. Prohibition ended the following year with the ratification of the 21st Amendment in December 1933.
