Subversion of the Right to Vote
African-Americans approach the courthouse in order to vote. The original caption reads: "Negro citizens attempt to cast ballots in Greenwood, August 1963. Note helmeted policeman and local citizen photographing each of them as they enter the courthouse. The photographs can later be used to intimidate them and perhaps force them from their jobs or homes because they tried to vote." |
