English: Voting Victories
Poster in museum reads "The focus of the Madison County Movement was voter registration. Of a potential 10,000 voters, only 121 blacks were registered in 1963. Those who dared try to register or vote were threatened by gun-wielding officials. Another tactic that prevented blacks from voting was the poll tax. CORE (Congress Of Racial Equality), the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), COFO (Council Of Federated Organizations), and other groups sent workers to Canton to help. Prominent were George Raymond, Dave Dennis, Rims Barber and Anne Moody, a Tougaloo student, and her fellow students and teachers." |
