voters

Our civil duties must be done.

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."

Ottima cattura!!!Ciao.

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.

That's Mrs. John Sherwin Crosby (the former Nellie Fassett), founder and president of the Women's Democratic Club of New York City, president of the Woman's National Democratic League--she gave a victory breakfast at the Waldorf-Astoria to congratulate the incoming first lady, Mrs. Wilson, and her daughters. uic.edu/orgs/cwluherstory/jofreeman/polhistory/1912.htm

I started a Wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nellie_Fassett
