Item Description
3.5x5.5". Front features images of Powell and Ike and lists accomplishments in desegregation since 1952. Reverse text accuses Stevenson of "Talking From Both Sides Of His Mouth" and lists Eleanor Roosevelt, Senator Lehman and Senator Humphrey to the left while at right prominent racist governors are listed: "Eastland Of Mississippi", "Talmadge Of Georgia", and "Long Of Louisiana". Stevenson ignored several requests for meetings w/the Harlem, NY Congressman that eventually led to Powell's surprise endorsement of Ike. Over the last four weeks of the 1956 campaign Powell spoke in Detroit, Chicago and other cities w/large African American voting blocks. Light brown age toning at top left that is not on reverse. Otherwise only minor handling wear. VF. Rare.
