1905 Racist Anti-Voting Rights Broadside,
1905 Racist Anti-Voting Rights Broadside,<p>14 x 6" "TO THE VOTERS OF WASHINGTON COUNTY," n.p., though seemingly Baltimore, MD. A typical handbill from the "Jim Crow" era, this points out the sections of a constitutional amendment designed to disenfranchise African Americans from their right to vote. Notes that if followed, this will "keep from our registration books thousands of ignorant and veneal [sic] negroes" and "secure to us the priceless benefit of the political surpremacy of white people in our state."<p>Toned, light folds, else fine.
