    Wow, look at the coloring in this photo. Looks alot like the stuff us modern photographers try to duplicate.

    A question for the collective wisdom -- are these migrant farmworkers, sharecroppers, or -?-

    We see black faces and they're underexposed; it was okay to make sloppy images of these guys?

    Most people have a hard time exposing for people of colour, now why this is is where the guessing begins. It has gotten easier with digital, but before that, I can only imagine. Take a look at my postings.

    @ "CASHAW" : Nice of you to politely point out the differance of quality between 1940's photography & the quality available now , but.... since Graycard's profile sez hes a "photographer" he might just have known that!!!....unless hes making some B.S. point of look how the poor neegrowz were treated then....opening the door to some A.C.L.U. you owe us some-such-schitt..... get over it & be thankful photos of the poor neegrowz were evin kept , hell the photo survived the cival rights period ~amazing~ too bad attitudes cant change like technology does.......

    Accompanying note: "Long lines like this one are common in City Hall these days as an average of more than 200 people a day register to vote in the February City elections. So far this week about 835 people have registered. Yesterday alone 245 registered."

    Why not European-Ameicans? Or blacks and whites? Otherwise that title is weird.

    Did not know that black people were aloud to vote in the 50's in Florida.I'm from the north.

    This is not the least interesting of many interesting images in this wonderful set. It is perhaps a reminder that the history of voting rights (and race relations in the South generally) was not entirely a history of violent conflict and confrontation. Yes their was a struggle but yes a great of what happened happened quietly and no not everyone's heart was stained by ill-will. It also reminds us that, like the history of the franchise for women, we know more about national and state level changes than we do about municipal and school board etc. level voting practices.
