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
