The most important people during National Prohibition in the US included Wayne Wheeler, Ernest Cherrington, Purley Baker, "Pussyfoot Johnson," and Richmond Pearson Hobson, all of the powerful Anti-Saloon League; Mary Hunt, Mamie Colvin, and Carry Nation, all of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU); D. Leigh Colvin of the Prohibition Party; Andrew Volstead of Congress; Cora F. Stoddard of the Scientific Temperance Union; and Lillian Sedwick of the Women of the Ku Klux Klan (WKKK).

They may not be household names today, but they were leading movers and shakers in the National Prohibition movement.
