A name given to the resource
The Southern Frontier, vol. 2, no. 4
Description
An account of the resource
<p>Published by Commission on Interracial Cooperation (CIC), <em>The Southern Frontier</em> was a monthly newsletter, first issued in January, 1940. Aiming to share the stories overlooked by traditional newspapers, the newsletter published stories of social progress, as well as stories of racial injustices faced by African Americans across the American South.</p>
<p>As described by the then President of the CIC Howard W. Odum, the name <em>The Southern Frontier </em>alludes to the need for even greater pioneering and progress in the social and cultural frontiers, the American South being the most turbulent field in reference to race relations and progress at the time.</p>
<p>Vol. 4, No. 4 contains contributions by H. Bynum</p>
<p>Selected articles are: <br /><br />“Education for Security” – An article describing the underfunded Southern school system in face of the large sums being spent on military funding for World War II. <br /><br />"An Open Letter to Eugene Talmadge (Governor of Georgia)" from <em>The Macon News</em>, regarding his veto of a state training school for African American girls. <br /><br />“`The Mind of the South’ `Lanterns on the Levee’” – Reviews of two books describing the psyche and culture of the American South.<br /><br />"Short Changed" -- an editorial cartoon from the Louisville <em>Courier-Journal</em></p>

I support voting districts for Virginians, not politicians. [tote bag]
Description
An account of the resource
Blue tote bag with white lettering reading "I support Voting districts for Virginians, not politicians." The OneVirginia2021 logo appears in the center with the words "For Fair Redistricting. OneVirginia2021.org" <br /><br />OneVirginia2021 is 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 />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
Report of the President's Commission on Registration and Voting Participation. The bipartisan commission was created by Executive Order on March 30, 1963 by President John F. Kennedy. The Commission was chaired by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_M._Scammon" target="_blank" title="Wikipedia article" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard M. Scammon</a>, Census Director. <br /><br />The report was transmitted on November 26, 1963, just days after Kennedy's assassination. In February, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson mailed this report along with a <a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/show/475" target="_blank" title="read the accompanying letter from President Johnson" rel="noreferrer noopener">letter to Eleanor P. Sheppard</a>, Mayor of Richmond, Virginia. <br /><br />In its opening summary, the Commission wrote: <br /><br />"One-third of our adults do not vote in presidential elections, and more than half do not vote in congressional elections. The reasons for America's low voter participation are both psychological and legal. <br /><br />Psychological causes of low turnout must be attacked by education and educational programs. Every citizen and group has a responsibility to join in this effort. <br /><br />The Commission endorses the practice of comprehensive register-and-vote campaigns to encourage and inform potential voters. We specifically call for a new effort by our schools in the teaching of citizenship, and we underscore the great responsibility of parents in citizenship education. <br /><br />The Commission strongly believes that effective two-party competition in all areas of the Nation will build and maintain interest in public affairs and lead to greater voter participation. We commend the two party system and all efforts to strengthen that system. <br /><br />Restrictive legal and administrative procedures in registration and voting disfranchise millions. To overcome such restrictions, taking into account the disparity in law and practice amont the States, we recommend the following specific standards: <br /><br />[Twenty-one standards are listed, including the elimination of literacy tests and poll taxes and the extension of voting to persons eighteen years of age.] <br /><br />The implementation of these standards will guarantee the right to vote to every citizen, adduring in fact what we proclain in theory--the supremacy of the individual in American political life." <br /><br /><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=umn.31951d029875154&view=1up&seq=3" target="_blank" title="read the report" rel="noreferrer noopener">Complete report</a> available through HathiTrust.

Description
An account of the resource
Letter to the Honorable Eleanor P. Sheppard, Mayor of Richmond, Virginia from President Lyndon Baines Johnson. February 10, 1964. <br /><br />This letter accompanied the President's Commission on Registration and Voting Participation "<a href="President's%20Commission%20on%20Registration%20and%20Voting%20Participation" target="_blank" title="Report of the Commission" rel="noreferrer noopener">Report on Registration and Voting Participation</a>." <br /><br />Text:<br />The White House<br />Washington<br />February 10, 1964<br /><br />Dear Mayor Sheppard: <br /><br />Less than two thirds of Americans of voting age cast ballots in Presidential elections. Less than one half vote in Congressional elections. <br /><br />This is a serious void in our free society. <br /><br />Last March President Kennedy appointed a bipartisan Commission on Registration and Voting Particpation. Its task was to study the causes of nonvoting and to recommend remedies. After careful study this Commission has presented its report and I send one to you. <br /><br />More interest in voting can be stressed by local efforts. May I suggest that you might want to consider the appointment of a citizens committee to investigate possible restrictions to reistration and voting -- and to promote greater voter participation in the 1964 elections. <br /><br />At a time when people all over the world cry out for the right to vote, too many of our citizens neglect to use this most precious of all citizen privileges. Our states and our cities, by improving voting laws and voting practices, can help produce increased voting interest by all the people. <br /><br />Kindly give me a report on the situation in your city. <br /><br />Sincerely, <br /><br />Lyndon B. Johnson

Virginia State Board of Elections Bulletin No. 29, May 22, 1958 [blank sheet voter registration]
Description
An account of the resource
Bulletin No. 29 addressed To ALL REGISTRARS OF VIRGINIA. Stamped in red "Important Read Carefully." <br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />The 1958 session of the General Assembly made several changes in the Election Laws of Virginia stressing the duties of the registrars and the procedure to be followed by all the registrars throughout the State in registering applicants who are eligible to have their names placed on the registration books in order that a uniform system will be stictly adherred to. <br /><br />If each registrar will follow the procedure whih is outlined below, step by step, in registering voters, we believe he will be fully meeting the requirements of the new law. <br /><br />1. Every person applying for registration should be furnished one of the Information Sheets, Form No. 1, which we have printed and are furnishing each registrar, containing the pertinenet provisions of Chapter 576 of the Acts of the 1958 General Assembly and Section 20 of the Constitution of Virginia. <br /><br />2. The registrar shall furnish the applicant a sheet of paper containing no written or printed data; in other words, just a blank sheet of paper for the applicant to supply in his own handwriting the information required by Section 20 of the Constitution and Section 24-68 of the Code, which is as follows: <br /><br />1. Name of applicant. <br />2. Age of applicant. <br />3. Date of applicant's birth. <br />4. Place of applicant's birth. <br />5. Residence of applicant at the time application is made. <br />6. Residence of applicant for one year next preceding the making of the application. <br />7. Occupation of applicant at the time application is made. <br />8. Occupation of applicant for one year next preceding the making of the application. <br />9. Whether applicant has previously voted. <br />10. If applicant has previously voted, the State, County and precinct in which applicant last voted. <br /><br />While making his application for registration, which must be done in the presence of the registrar, the applicant shall not be permitted to refer to any pamphlet, booklet or other memorandum, printed or written, nor to discuss with any person any matter concerning the requirements necessary in order to register other than the provisions of Section 20 of the Constitution and Section 24-68 of the Code which we have printed for his use on Form No. 1. If an applicant makes application in his or her own handwriting, and without aid, suggestion or memorandum, other than the right to refer to the pertinent provisions of the Code and the Constitution, then such applicant has satisfied the requirements of the law, so far as a written application is required.

An account of the resource
Letter from Medgar W. Evers, Field Secretary, Mississippi NAACP to John M. Brooks, Director, Voter Registration, Virginia NAACP. Dated May 15, 1958, the letter is an update on the progress of voter registration efforts in Mississippi. <br /><br />Text: <br />Mr. Johnnie M. Brooks <br />Director, Registration and Voting <br />404 1/2 North Second Street <br />Richmond, Virginia <br /><br />Dear Mr. Brooks:<br /><br />On last night, May 14, I attended the third successful meeting of the "Crusade for Voters" in Meridian, Mississippi. It is amazing how the enthusiasm that was generated in the first two meetings has continued. It is definitely an encouraging sign. At last night's meeting there were represented persons from six of the seven presincts in Meridian, Mississippi, also representatives from two of the county supervisory districts. At this meeting we set up temporary precinct machinery and indications are that within the next two weeks the precinct organizations will be a reality. <br /><br />The list of qualified Negro voters is in the process of being secured, also maps setting forth the boundaries of the various precincts. I do feel personally that in Meridian we are getting off to a very good start. <br /><br />Tonight is Jackson's night. I shall report ot you on its progress later. <br /><br />We had at last night's meeting approximately forty persons, more or less. <br /><br />Sincerely yours, <br />Medgar W. Evers<br />Field Secretary

Description
An account of the resource
Letter of encouragement from John M. Brooks, NAACP Registration Director following a meeting he attended in Mississippi. <br /><br />Text -- <br />Dear Friend: <br /><br />My meeting with you in Mississippi was an inspiration to me. It proved my belief that, "if people are given a clear picture of the voting situation, they will cooperate". <br /><br />The people in Meridian and Jackson are well on their way toward increasing their voting strength and becoming first-class citizens. Your future activities will tell what Y O U are going to do in your city. Talk to your neighbors and invite them to join your group. A large attendance will be an inspiration to all concerned. <br /><br />It is my sincere hope that your organization will be a guiding light for other communities all over Mississippi to follow. IT CAN BE DONE would be the wrong words to us, IT WILL BE DONE because of Y O U.<br /><br />Sincerely yours, <br />John M. Brooks<br />NAACP Registration Director

Letter to H. D. Dillard from Martin L. Calhoun, Alabama Male Association Opposed to Woman's Suffrage [typed letter, signed]
Description
An account of the resource
Letter from Martin L. Calhoun, Secretary Treasurer of the Alabama Male Association Opposed to Woman's Suffrage dated 15 August 1919. <br /><br />The letter was sent to the Hon. H. D. Dillard (of Franklin County, Va.), General Assembly, Richmond, Va. <br /><br />Calhoun is opposed to the Fifteenth Amendment (which prohibits the federal government and each state from denying a citizen the right to vote based on that citizen's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude") and the ratification of the proposed "Anthony Amendment" (which would become the Nineteenth Amendment). The letter associates woman suffrage, African American suffrage, and socialism. <br /><br /><br />The organization's platform is printed on this letterhead near the top of the page. <br /><br />"Platform:--The Alabama Male Association Opposed to Woman's Suffrage--<br />Stands for HOME and NATIONAL DEFENSE aggainst Woman's Suffrage, Feminismand Socialism. For MAN-POWER in Government, believing that Democracy must be STRONG to be SAFE. For the PRESERVATION of the established foundations of the American Republic as a Model for the World. For the RECOGNITION and ENFORCEMENT of the INHERENT RIGHT of EACH STATE to control the question of Woman's Suffrage for ITSELF. For EFFICIENCY and PROGRESS without Waste and Duplication in Government. For the CONSERVATION of the BEST WOMANHOOD of all conditions and stations in life, along NON-PARTISAN lines, so that the interests of Womanhood, Childhood and Civilization may be advanced FREE from the strife and division of politics, factions and parties. For the retention of the BEST IDEALS of the past, adapted to the advantages and opportunities given women under modern conditions, so that the FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES of Morality, of Patriotism and of World Progress may be more firmly established in the present and future generations."<br /><br />Excerpt of letter text:<br />"Susan B. Anthony was instrumental in securing the Fifteenth Article to the Federal Constitution, the adoption of which has always stood as a blot on the escutchen of our Country. Her purpose and intent was to further humiliate and oppress the then down trodden South. This in itself should condemn her namesake in the heart of every true Southerner. <br /><br />We are calling upon all the Southern States to REJECT [handwritten in margin "(it now)"] her namesake and if we can get the twelve Southern States to the two which have rejected - Georgia and Alabama - we can bury Old Susan where she belongs. <br /><br />If we, of the South, surrender our control of suffrage to the Federal Government we should not complain of the Fifteenth Amendment or what may follow under the adoption of the Anthony Amendment, for we would be traitors to that grand martyr of your State- Robert E. Lee and we are not worthy of our sires."

Virginia Federation of Labor Convention Badge. Bristol, Va., April 3, 4, 5, 1922
Description
An account of the resource
Virginia Federation of Labor delegate's convention badge. Delegates represented local unions at the state gathering. <br /><br /><span>The Virginia Federation of Labor was aligned with the <a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/show/228" target="_blank" title="AFL Song" rel="noreferrer noopener">American Federation of Labor</a>, the powerful organization of unions led by Samuel Gompers. Although southern workers struggled to organize successfully in large numbers, unions nonetheless became a force. Between 1885 and 1890, according to one historian, twenty-three national or international unions organized locals in Virginia. Another scholar estimates that by the turn of the twentieth century, about 10% of Richmond’s industrial workers were represented by unions. That success was tempered, however, by the pervasive racism of the period. <br /><br />When the Knights of Labor held a national convention in Richmond in 1886, the New York delegation was refused accommodations because one of their members was an African American. By 1919 progress in racial cooperation had been made at the national level. That progress was reflected at the Virginia State Federation of Labor’s annual convention, in the same year, in Alexandria. W.H. Page, of Newport News, became the first African American to be appointed to the Virginia group’s executive council. Black labor leaders, and black newspapers, praised the move, but it also prompted angry backlash. Some two thousand white unionists, of Richmond, left the Federation of Labor in protest of Page’s appointment. Those episodes evoke the racial tensions of the Jim Crow South.</span><br /><br />Image Description: <br />This round badge has blue lettering on a white background with a multi-color <a href="https://archive.org/details/statearmsofunion00lpra/page/n7" target="_blank" title="State Arms of the Union, L. Prang & Co, 1876" rel="noreferrer noopener">coat of arms of Virginia</a> in the center. <br /><br />Inscribed in blue: "27TH ANNUAL CONVENTION / VA. FEDERATION OF LABOR" above the seal and "APRIL 3.4.5, 1922, BRISTOL, VA." below. <br /><br />Suspended from oval badge inscribed : "DELEGATE". <br />The back of the badge reads "The Whitehead and Hoag Co. Buttons, Badges, Novelties and Signs. Newark, N.J."

State Capitation Tax receipts [poll tax receipts]
Description
An account of the resource
Virginia State Capitation Tax receipts from the various years. <br /><br />Note: Names and addresses have been removed from these receipts. <br /><p>Poll taxes<span> </span>have a long and contentious history in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Payment of the tax first became a requirement for voting in 1876, as part of an effort to make it more difficult for African Americans and poor whites to participate in elections. Beginning in 1904, Virginians could not register to vote without presenting proof of having paid the poll tax for each of the three years preceding an election.</p>
<p>In March of 1966, in the case of<span> </span><a href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/383/663/" target="_blank" title="Text of this case" rel="noreferrer noopener"><i>Harper v. Virginia State Board of Elections</i></a>, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the poll tax was unconstitutional. In 1970, the Virginia Constitution omitted authorization of the General Assembly to make payment of a poll tax a prerequisite for voting.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
Two-sided handbill. One side uses quotations from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Messenger_(magazine)" target="_blank" title="The Messenger (magazine)" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>The Messenger</em></a> (1917-1928) to associate woman suffrage, black voting, and a socialist takeover of the United States government. <br /><br />The handbill argues that Socialists will benefit if a "Force Bill" introduced by Senator <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Eli_Watson" target="_blank" title="James Eli Watson" rel="noreferrer noopener">James E. Watson</a> of Indiana were to be passed to enforce the 19th Amendment. The text raises the issues of interracial marriage and desegregation as threats. <br /><br />On the reverse, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Nearing" target="_blank" title="Scott Nearing in Wikipedia" rel="noreferrer noopener">Scott Nearing</a> is quoted as having replied to the question, "How do you propose to take property away from its owners?"<br /><br />"By CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT--in the same way that the property of the brewers and distillers was taken by Constitutional Amendment. The Prohibitionists have shown us the way in which property can be taken for public purposes without compensation to the owners," etc.<br />--From The Review, Feb. 7, 1920, Page 130
