Frame 58: Woman Casting Freedom Vote
Image
Two women sit behind a table at a Freedom Vote, a mock election designed to include African-Americans who were unable to register to vote and would be a truer reflection of how Mississippi would vote. Freedom Votes were held on October 30 and 31, and November 1 and 2. A box on the table has the words: "Freedom Vote" written on it.
