At the Ballot Box
The NAACP’s commitment to universal suffrage is epitomized in this poster. The would-be-voters behind the curtain, depicted only by their footwear, represent men and women from “different walks of life.” The release of the poster coincided with the NAACP’s campaign to amend the Voting Rights Act in the 1970s.
