| Description: | Master 1 - Tape 2 Some of the best civil rights footage in our library. The first day of voter registration in Canton, Mississippi documented in wonderful color, beautiful shape. White registrants with pens in hands register African American (black) citizens. Hot day. People fan themselves with anything they can. Probably 100-200 people in the room. CUs of forms being filled out. Pen in hand, writing. CUs of black faces. Man fans face with hat. Line of people waiting to register. Black woman in braids drinks RC Cola. Great shot: woman stands against a wall, framed in the picture is a governmental form that says,"NOTICE." | |
