An account of the resource
Pamphlet advocating for the Child Labor Amendment, passed in 1924, but never ratified.<br /><br />Cover cartoon by Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper cartoonist John T. McCutcheon. <br /><br />[Image description] Two child laborers operate machinery. Above them is a cloud showing that they are daydreaming about frolicking outside with a dog. Beneath the cloud are the words "Lost Childhood". A rich older man in a suit looks at the children while rubbing his hands together greedily. The text below indicates that this man represents the "Employer of Child Labor". Above him is a cloud showing that he is daydreaming about sitting in the back of a large, expensive automobile that is parked in front of a mansion. Beneath the cloud are the words "Financial Gains". At the bottom of the cartoon is text that says "What child labor and its employer think about". <br /><br />Text from back of pamphlet: <br /><br />A federal minimum will give to American Children all the advantages of our federal form of government.<br />Every state may wish to give its children greater protection than a national minimum would provide.<br />Is any state willing to give them less?<br /><br />------<br /><br />The following organizations issue this appeal for the passage of a Children's Amendment by the next Congress: <br />American Federation of Labor <br />Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America <br />General Federation of Women's Clubs <br />Girls Friendly Society in America <br />National Child Labor Committee <br />National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associations <br />National Consumers' League<br />National Council of Jewish Women <br />National Council of Women, Inc.<br />National Education Association<br />National Federation of Teachers<br />National Federation of Businesses and Professional Women's Clubs <br />National League of Women Voters <br />National Woman's Christian Temperance Union <br />National Women's Trade Union League<br />Service Star Legion <br />Young Woman's Christian Association.

Effect of the Vote of Women on Legislation
Description
An account of the resource
This booklet is "an investigation in the equal suffrage states made in Dec., 1913, by 'The Evening Sun,' of New York City, and Brought up to the end of the legislative session of 1915." This report investigates the following questions: 1) "Do women who have the vote vote?" 2) "What laws have their votes passed?" and 3) "Is woman suffrage considered a success by the States that have it?" In summary, the results of this investigation were "Women who have the vote do vote. Their ballot has already passed a considerable body of law. The suffrage States seem to be satisfied to have women go on voting."

What Have Women Done With the Vote?
Description
An account of the resource
This article written by George Creel originally appeared in the March 1914 issue of Century Magazine and was reprinted in pamphlet form by the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Creel's article provides an analysis of the consequences of women being granted the right to vote, including the social, political, and economic implications. <br /><br />"The opponents of equal suffrage never tire of declaring that woman's place is the home. I agree with them most heartily. It is because of the home that I want women to have the vote... I have always thought, and still think that a government entirely by men is as stupid as a government entirely by women would be. There are as many <em>home</em> features in municipal or state administration as <em>business</em> features...."

The Closing of Occupations To Women
Description
An account of the resource
This leaflet was created by the Woman's Party to describe the important role the Woman's Party in campaigning for industrial equality as evidenced by increasing legislation restricting the industrial opportunities of women. <br /><br />"The effort to bar women from political equality with men was of little consequence compared to the present growing effort to keep them from industrial equality. No part of the Woman's Party equality program is so important, we believe, and so far-reaching in its effect as its demand for economic equality."

How Virginia Laws Discriminate Against Women
Description
An account of the resource
This leaflet entitled, "How Virginia Laws Discriminate Against Women," was compiled by Burnita Shelton Mathews, the Legal Research Secretary of the Legal Research Department of the National Woman's Party in 1922. As described on the back cover, this leaflet outlines discrimination against women in the Virginia law, which is of "vital importance to each woman in this state, for decisions which affect her future, and the welfare of her children, may be made on the basis of these very laws."<br /><br />"Fathers are given practically complete control over their children and mothers almost no control.<br /><br />A married woman's property is presumed to belong to her husband, unless proof to the contrary is shown.<br /><br />Grounds for divorce are unequal.<br /><br />Women can not serve on juries.<br /><br />Women are not admitted on equal terms to the state university."

Anti-School Busing Protest, February 1972
Description
An account of the resource
Black and white photograph of a man and a woman in a car during an anti-busing motorcade to Washington, D.C. The car is driving past the U.S. Supreme Court building and has a poster taped to the driver's side door of the car. The poster is of "The Little Red School House" used as a logo by <a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Save+Our+Neighborhood+Schools" target="_blank" title="SONS" rel="noreferrer noopener">Save Our Neighborhood Schools, Inc.</a> with the words, "Help / Save Freedom." The man leans his head out the window and smiles.<br /><br />On February 17, 1972, nearly 3,300 cars traveled in a motorcade from Richmond, Virginia to Washington, DC. Despite snow, the protesters made a symbolic journey to Capitol Hill to voice their opposition to Judge Robert Merihge's ruling (<em>Bradley v. School Board of City of Richmond, Virginia) </em>that public schools<span> in Richmond, Henrico County, and Chesterfield County must be consolidated. At that time, Richmond public schools were 70 percent black while those of the two counties were about 90 per cent white.<br /><br />Cars in the motorcade carried red and white signs reading “Help Save Freedom” and imprinted with a picture of a little red schoolhouse. <br /></span>

Position of Farm Workers in Federal and State Legislation
Description
An account of the resource
This pamphlet, written by Robin Myers and published by the National Advisory Committee on Farm Labor, describes the rights of migrant farm workers in the late 1950s. This excerpt describes the conditions and the rights of child workers at both the state and national legislative levels. <br /><br />The National Advisory Committee on Farm Labor (NACFL) grew out of the work of the <a href="https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/3199" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">National Sharecroppers Fund</a>. <br /><br />The NACFL was organized in 1958 as a fact-finding, reporting agency whose goal was to build public awareness of the substandard living and working conditions of farm laborers. (<a href="https://reuther.wayne.edu/files/LR000393.pdf" target="_blank" title="Finding aid NSF collection" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reuther Library</a>, n.d.) Leaders included Eleanor Roosevelt, Socialist party presidental candidate Norman Thomas, Catholic Archbishop Robert Emmet Lucey, Rabbi Eugene Lipman of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, Presbyterian theologian Dr. John A. Mackay, and Tuskegee Institute president, Dr. L. H. Foster (<a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-policy-history/article/farmworker-advocacy-through-guestworker-policy-secretary-of-labor-james-p-mitchell-and-the-bracero-program/99180F6F8E1DC1D2D451F7612DBF6823/core-reader#fn79" target="_blank" title="Farmworker Advocacy through Guestworker Policy" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hazelton</a>, 2017).<br /><br />In 1958 and 1964, the NACFL held public hearings on farm labor and rural poverty. The agency dissolved in 1968.<br /><br />Excerpts:<br /><br />p. 34 "Children of migrant agricultural workers suffer from all the disadvantages and disabilities that handicap the whole migrant community -- unusual health hazards, inadequate food and housing due to low income level, lack of stable family life, and rejection by the community. In addition, two aspects of the migrant situation particularly affect the children and their future. The first is the common use of child workers, both legally and illegally. The second is their deprivation of such educational opportunities as would enable them to make their own lives an improvement over those of their parents." <br /><br />p. 35 "'Many of the Nation's farms do not come under the provisions of these Federal Acts. Only 6 States, 3 Territories, and the District of Columbia expressly provide a minimum age for agricultural work outside school hours, and only 13 States, 2 Territories, and the District of Columbia expressly provide a minimum age during school hours.'" (quoted from <em>Child Workers in Agriculture</em>, Leaflet No. 4, U. S. Dept. of Labor, 1959)<br /><br />p. 37 "The most common reason for the employment of child workers in agriculture, to an extent no longer acceptable in other industries, is that the low wage of the bread-winner of the family is not sufficient (averaging under $900 a year) to pay minimum family expenses, and so everyone works who can. This in turn creates the vicxious cycle of child labor lowering wage standards and contributing to the perpetuation of subnormal wages."<br /><br />p. 38 "In most places, the local schools cannot handle and do not want migrant children."

Free Our Districts! End Gerrymandering. [bumper sticker]
Description
An account of the resource
Bumper sticker created by <a href="https://www.onevirginia2021.org/" target="_blank" title="OneVirginia2021.org" rel="noreferrer noopener">OneVirginia2021</a>, an American civic non-profit organization founded to advocate for a non-partisan redistricting of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Formed in 2014, OneVirginia2021 is made up of people from across the political spectrum, including Republicans, Democrats, and TEA party members. <br /><br />Sticker text: "Free Our Districts! End Gerrymandering. Authorized by the good people at OneVirginia2021 who are trying to stop politicians from rigging the system."<br /><br />Gerrymandering is the practice of setting the boundaries of electoral districts to favor specific political interests. The redrawing of district lines takes place after each new U. S. Census to ensure that the "one person one vote" requirement is met. <br /><br />Partisan gerrymandering works to increase the power of a political party. Racial gerrymandering weakens representation, and therefore the political power, of minority voters.

Description
An account of the resource
Permit issued by the Mayor of Richmond, Va. allowing the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia to hold public meetings on the streets and in the parks of the city. <br /><br />On May 1, 1915, the ESL were denied permission to speak on city streets by Mayor Ainslie, on the grounds that, while there was no law forbidding them to speak, neither was there one that allowed him to grant them a permit. The women proceeded to give speeches from inside an automobile. The event was documented and reported by the <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045389/1915-05-02/ed-1/seq-1/" target="_blank" title="Chronicling America, Library of Congress historic newspapers" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Richmond Times-Dispatch</em> on May, 2, 1915.</a> <br /><br /><a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/show/562" target="_blank" title="view photographs of the woman suffrage rally" rel="noreferrer noopener">Photographs from the May 1 rally</a> may be found in the Social Welfare History Image Portal.

An account of the resource
This booklet was distributed by the Virginia Commission on Constitutional Government (VCCG) in opposition to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Commission began in 1958 and existed until the late 1960s. <br /><br />Led by David J. Mays, a prominent lawyer and advisor to Virginia’s commission on the response to the <em>Brown v. Board of Education</em> decision, it advocated nationally for states’ rights and conservatism, and eventually distributed over 2 million published pamphlets, brochures and speeches. <em>The Constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act of 1965</em> argues against the Voting Rights Act. Robert Y. Button (Virginia’s Attorney General at the time) made a typical VCCG argument in stating that the Act “attempted to erode the basic concepts of constitutional government in which the individual States are acknowledged to be sovereign” and is “patently unconstitutional.” <br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />pp. 8-9 "the Supreme Court of the United States has repeatedly declared that a State is free to conduct its elections and limit its electorate as it may deem wise, except as its actions may be affected by the prohibitions of the Federal Constitution, and that the power of Congress to legistlate at all the subject of racial discrimination in voting rests upon the Fifteenth Amendment and extends only to the prevention by appropriate legistlation of the discriminatiion forbidden by that Amendment..."<br /><br />p. 14 "I do believe, however, -- as Mr. Justice Harlan made clear...that the Framers of the Constitution:<br /><br />'staked their faith that liberty would proper in the new Nation not primarily upon declarations of individual rights <em>but upon the kind of government the Union was to have. </em>And they determined that in <em>a government of divided powers</em> lay the best promise for realizing the free society it was their object to achieve.' (Italics supplied [by Button]. <br /><br />One aspect of this governmental edifice which the Framers sought to erect, and which H. R. 6400 would manifestly subvert, was the distribution of power between the Nation and the States, each supreme within its sphere, thus forming an indestructible Union of indestructible States." <br /><br /><a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Virginia+Commission+on+Constitutional+Government" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Other publications by the VCCG">Other VCCG publications</a> in the Image Portal

Voting Rights Act...the first months
Description
An account of the resource
Within the first six weeks after the Voting Rights Act was signed into law, staff attorneys from the Commission on Civil Rights visited 32 Southern counties and parishes to study the implementation of the legislation. This document is their report, transmitted to the President, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives in November 1965. <br /><br />The Commission found widespread compliance, but also a need for further action. Their "Findings and Recommendations," along with the section titled, "Problems in Registration" are presented here. <br /><br />Read the report's <a href="https://umedia.lib.umn.edu/item/p16022coll391:4298/p16022coll391:4185?child_index=9&query=&sidebar_page=4" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="read the report's history of the Voting Rights Act of 1965">Chapter 1: History of the Voting Rights Act of 1965</a>. <br /><br />Excerpts: <br />p.34 Problems in Registration<br /><br />Some country registrars in Mississippi and Alabama have violated the new law by refusing to register illiterates....<br /><br />Delay has created a problem in Alabama and South Carolina, principally because these States have a restricted number of registration days. <br /><br />p. 35 In some counties in North Carolina, registrars conduct all but three days of registration in their own homes or places of business. Social and psychological barriers are likely to deter Negroes from seeking out a registrar in his exclusively white neighborhood.... <br /><br />Racial violence related to civil rights activities is another factor which has limited applications in some counties with examiners. The killing of seminarian <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Daniels" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="biographical information on Jonathan Daniels">Jonathan Daniels</a> in Lowndes Country, Alabama, on August 20 and the acquittal of his killer on September 30 appear to have been the single most important factor in reducing Negro applications in that county. It is symbolic of conditions there that a pick-up truck with a rifle visibly displayed has been parked daily immediately outside the examiner's office since the opening of the office. Registration workers in the country have reported increasing threats against their lives and continued efforts to intimidate resident Negro leaders.<br /><br />------<br /><br />This booklet on the Voting Rights Act was part of a resource file on civil rights and voting in the files of the National Federation of Settlements. The Federation was active in community organizing for social justice, voting, and civil rights.
