Item Description
10.25x16.25" on thin paper w/union mark at lower right. Two horizontal bends from being lightly rolled. Otherwise only faint age and handling. Exc. The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) reproduced this ghastly 1935 image of the Bert Moore & Dooley Morton lynching to illustrate the brutal reality faced by African Americans during their campaign to recruit volunteers for the Mississippi Freedom Summer Project. SNCC alongside Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) aimed to register African Americans to vote and educate about the electoral process. The efforts led to the formation of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and helped propel the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
