Letter from John M. Brooks, NAACP Registration Director to voter registration activists, Mississippi, July 7, 1958
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
Brooks, John M.

Letter to H. D. Dillard from Martin L. Calhoun, Alabama Male Association Opposed to Woman's Suffrage [typed letter, signed]
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."
Calhoun, Martin L.

Elihu Root Warns the South [anti-suffrage broadside]
Broadside publishing an essay by James Callaway, editor of the <em>Macon Telegraph</em> and an ardent anti-suffragist. <br /><br />Callaway quotes Senator William Borah: <br /><br />"The cornerstone of the very fabric of our system is the right of local self-government as to who shall vote in the State, or who shall own property and lands or attend schools in a State. These are prerogatives of the State, not of the Federal government. What I am contending for is this--that which is local in its nature as I conceive this suffrage matter to be, should be permitted to remain local. <br /><br />The right to vote can never, in the nature of things, under our system be other than a local question, for upon it rests the very integrity and the sovereignty of the State." <br /><br />Callaway discusses "complications" with the Federal government (including the Supreme Court that had decided against disenfranchisement laws) brought about when States cannot decide who gets to vote. He declares that the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_primaries" target="_blank" title="white primaries" rel="noreferrer noopener">white primary</a> was important for protecting white rural women in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Belt_(U.S._region)" target="_blank" title="definition of "black belt" region of the U.S." rel="noreferrer noopener">black belt</a> and making it safe for them to leave their homes without escort. <br /><br />"Talk about emancipation of women--of freedom and a war for humanity--when the Susan B. Anthony amendment will close the public highways to our women of the rural districts, and again make them the victims of the 'terrorism,' that frightfulness which superinduced nervous debility."

Senator John T. Morgan Denounces Woman Suffrage. "He Being Dead, yet Speaketh"
Anti-suffrage broadside that argues voting will corrupt women, and, more urgently, that increasing the number of black votes will bring about the end of white supremacy in Alabama. The words of Senator <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tyler_Morgan" target="_blank" title="John Tyler Morgan" rel="noreferrer noopener">John Tyler Morgan</a>, a staunch proponent of white supremacist ideology, and Judge <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Henry_Tayloe" target="_blank" title="William Henry Tayloe" rel="noreferrer noopener">William Henry Tayloe</a>, a wealthy plantation owner, are quoted. Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper are mentioned. <br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />"White Supremacy Totters in Alabama. Men of the South, Shall It Fall? Woe Be Unto That Man who Would Betray Us. Judge W. H. Tayloe, one of Alabama's Ablest and Informed Statesmen, adds this Warning, Backed by Facts, Figures and Personal Experience." <br /><br />"It is not the moral influence of woman upon the ballot that I am objecting to, and it is not to get rid of that, or to silence or destroy such influence that I oppose it, but it is the IMMORAL influence of the ballot upon woman, that I depreciate and would avoid. <br />I do not want to see her drawn into contact with the rude things of this world, where the delicacy of her senses and sensibilities would be constantly wounded by the attrition with bad and desperate and foul politicians and men. Such is not her function and is not her office; and if we degrade her from the high station that God has place her in to put her at the ballot-box, at political or other elections, we UNMAN ourselves and refuse to do the duties that God as assigned to us." <br /><br />"Though the Supreme Court of the Nation has held that the 14th and 15th amendments were not grants of power to Congress but limitations upon the power of the States; yet it found a way to declare void the provisions of the Constitution of Oklahoma that eliminated the negro in that State as a voter. How soon will it find a way to require the States to let the negro vote? Who can tell?" <br /><br />"Men of the South, the 15th Amendment but sleeps. Write your State Legislators TO-DAY to VOTE AGAINST WOMAN SUFFRAGE."

Virginia Warns Her People Against Suffrage [broadside]
Reprint of an editorial from the <em>Richmond Evening Journal</em>, May 4, 1915. <br /><br />"Virginia Warns Her People Against Suffrage <br />---- <br />Twenty-nine counties would go under Negro Rule Over sixty counties in the State of Georgia <br />The entire State of Mississippi <br />----- <br />What of your state, your country? Isn't it about time for reflecting men and women to think--and act? <br />---- <br />THE THREATENED COUNTIES <br />From the Richmond Evening Journal May 4, 1915--Republished by Request <br /><br />Several times The Richmond Evening Journal has be asked to say which counties of Virginia have more colored than white female inhabitants. The question , of course, is in connection with the somewhat noisy demands we read of in the newspapers for "votes for women." Here is the list, from the United States census of 1910:<br /><br />...It is to be remembered that the literacy test would not work in choking off the colored woman vote. The colored people are decreasing their percentage of illiteracy very fast, especially among their women and girls. The ladies of the suffrage league will hardly come forward with a property test. No safeguard would be left but the poll tax; and if colored women knew they could get votes and rule some very rich and important counties by paying $1.50 apiece, we are inclined to think most of them would be willing to go hungry, if necessary to do it. <br /><br />Probably the ladies engaged in this suffrage movement are not very practical or very logical or very well informed or disposed to bother their heads with the actual facts of politics. Most of them, we surmise, hold the somewhat vague, but firmly established feminine line of reasoning that when they want something , or think they want it, they ought to have it by all principles of wisdom and justice; and are prepared always to fall back on the traditional conclusive feminine argument "because."

Virginia Suffrage News, vol. 1, no. 1, October 1, 1914
First issue of the Virginia Suffrage News, a monthly newspaper published by the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia. <br /><br />From masthead p. 4<br />Alice Overbey Taylor, Managing Editor<br />Mr.s G. Harvey Clarke (Mary Pollard Clarke), Editor-in-Chief <br />Contributing Editors: <br />Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett<br />Mrs. Kate Langley Bosher<br />Mrs. Emma Speed Sampson<br />Miss Mary Johnston<br />Mr. Carter Wormeley<br />Mrs. Sally Nelson Robins<br />Miss Cally Ryland <br /><br />The lead article is "W. J. Bryan, Secretary of State, Declares for Woman Suffrage" <br /><br />Foreword message from Lila Meade Valentine, President of the ESL of Virginia (p. 1)<br /><br />"The movement for the enfranchisement of woman has become so widespread in Virginia that there is great need for a regular means of communication between workers and sympathizers in all parts of the State....<br /><br />For this is pre-eminently a co-operative movement--one in which good team work is required--one in which we must all pull together with a right good will. <br /><br />To do this effectively, we need the stimulus of the exchange of ideas, we need to inform ourselves of the activities of our local Leagues, as well as of the larger movement outside.<br /><br />To meet these needs, I commend to the suffragists of the State the "<strong>Virginia Suffrage News</strong>," which should bind us together in one harmonious whole, and I bespeak for it a wide circulation amongst all those interested in this next great step in the development of women." <br /><br />p. 8 "Suffragists Chuckle Over 'Etching' That Was Never Made for 'Lack of Space.'" recounts the story of an anti-suffrage essay contest held by the Richmond <em>News-Leader</em>, an "all-white" paper. The newspaper intended to publish an etching (portrait) of the winner until it was discovered that she was an African American.

Includes data from the 1910 U.S. Census.<br /><br />Excerpts:<br /><br />p. 6 "...in a democracy where manhood suffrage practically prevails, institutional life is exposed to tremendous dangers when twelve per cent. of the voting population are unable to read the names printed on the ballots they are supposed to cast intelligently for the government of the State. Ignorance stands for narrowness, bigotry, selfishness and stagnation ; intelligence stands for liberty, liberality, tolerance, sympathy and growth. We must choose between the two."<br /><br />p. 8 "The material prosperity of the present South is one of the marvels of modern times. The faith and courage with which our people rebuilt their ruined homes, reclaimed their neglected fields, bridged the rivers, tunneled the mountains, built factories and constructed railroads challenge the admiration of the civilized world. In that struggle to rise from the ashes the greatest hindrance has been our load of illiteracy, and to-day it is our heaviest burden."<br /><br />p. 8 "Who are these illiterate white children of the South, and why are they not in school?"<br /><br />p. 9 "Argument against the right of the State to send a chld to school is specious and superficial. Those who make such argument would not for one moment deny the right of the State to compel the parent to vaccinate his child, to compel the parent to feed and clothe his child, or to compel him to fight for his country, and to shoot him if he deserted. The State has the right to carry the law-breaking child to the reformatory or to jail to protect society. Has not the State as much right to carry the child to the schoolhouse to save him from the reformatory or the jail and to train him to benefit society?"<br /><br />p. 12 "Temporizing patriots, with one ear listening to the call of duty and the other listening to the hostile rabble, declare for compulsory education when pressed to take a stand, but they usually add that the people are not quite ready for it."<br /><br />p. 12 "The argument against compulsory education on account of the negro has been worn threadbare ; surely the time has come to let it drop....Is it wise or expedient to permit thousands of white boys and girls to grow up in ignorance, lest in forcing them to school we should awaken the aspirations of the negro child? Shall we remain ignorant in order to encourage the negro to remain ignorant? Is it better for white and black to remain ignorant than to have both intelligent? The only logical conclusion to such argument is that the ignorant white man can compete successfully with the ignorant negro, but that the educated white man cannot compete with the educated negro. Then what becomes of the boasted superiority of the white man? Has the white man so nearly reached the zenith of his possibilities that he cannot keep well in advance of the ambitious negro?"<br />(For similar arguments with regard to woman suffrage, see <a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/show/75" target="_blank" title="The Negro Vote in the South [suffrage flyer]" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Negro Vote in the South</a>.)</p>

The Southern Frontier, vol. 1, no. 3 [Mississippi Issue]
Published by Commission on Interracial Cooperation (CIC), The Southern Frontier 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. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />The “Mississippi Issue” contains contributions by:<br />J. Morgan Stevens<br />M. M. Hubert<br />A. J. Finch<br />R. L. Hunt<br />Theodore D. Bratton<br />P. H. Easom<br />Anselm Joseph Finch<br />Horace Mann Bond<br />R. B. Eleazer<br />Will W. Alexander<br /><br />Articles include:<br /><br />“The South’s Problem Number One” – An article discussing poverty and over-population in the South.<br /><br />“The Wm. Johnson Community Center, Jackson, Miss.” – An article discussing a church-owned clinic serving the African American communities of Jackson, Mississippi.<br /><br />"Jim Crow Legislation" - An article about the defeat of Jim Crow amendments to a Mississippi Free Text Book Bill. State Senator H. L. Davis of Oxford is quoted as saying, "Under the Constitution the Negro is a citizen and of course we know and accept that. But he can never expect to be given the same educational and social privileges with the white man and he doesn't expect them. The best education we can give him is to use his hands, because that's how he must earn his living. It always has and it always will be."<br /><br />"An Oscar for Hattie" - An article about Hattie McDaniel's Academy Award for her role as Mammy in "Gone With the Wind."

The Rockwell Report, May 1965 [American Nazi Party]
<span>Official monthly publication of the American Nazi Party, an organization founded by George Lincoln Rockwell in March 1959.<br /><br /></span><span>Cover title for this issue, "The Real Story: Left vs. Right." Slogan on cover: "White People! Unite & Fight!" <br /><br />Article by George Lincoln Rockwell entitled, "Our 'Fascist' Founding Fathers" argues that the American Nazi Party represents a GOLDEN MEAN between the Tyranny of Total Order on the Right and the Anarchy of Total Freedom on the Left.<br /><br />Rockwell rails against "Rabbit" Welch (Robert W. Welch, Jr.), the founder of the John Birch Society. (Welch promoted conspiracy theories, including the notion that President Dwight D. Eisenhower was secretly a Communist.) Rockwell is incensed that Welch has equated Communism and Nazism. <br /><br />p.7 "If the Founding Fathers were to come to life today, they would NOT BE BIRCHERS....had the Founding Fathers lived today, they would have been 'NAZIS', as the Jews call anyone who sticks up for the White Christain eople and Constitutional Government."<br /><br /></span>
