[Albany: NAACP Northeastern Region, ca. 1965]. Four-color broadside, 14 x 11 inches. Soft central horizontal crease, minor adhesive remnants on verso from former mounting. Very good plus. Item #3304
A striking four-color broadside produced by the New York State Conference of the NAACP in Albany to encourage African American men and women to exercise their voting rights in the mid-to-late 1960s, likely in the aftermath of the Civil Rights Act of 1965. The poster is illustrated with three pairs of African American men and women - an elderly couple, a middle-aged couple, and a pair of young people, to highlight the importance of voting for the future of the African American people. The bottom margin of the broadside carries a purple stamp from the NAACP's Northeastern Region, New York State Conference in Albany. The trade union printer's slug at bottom right indicates the poster was printed in Washington, D.C., so the NAACP may have used these posters in numerous locations. No copies of this broadside are reported in OCLC. A stunning artifact from the height of the successes achieved by the Civil Rights Movement.
