The Fight for Voting Rights: A Historical Perspective
A formal portrait of Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th president of the United States, is overlaid with text detailing historical voter suppression tactics used in the American South before the 1965 Voting Rights Act. The text explains how poll taxes, literacy tests, and inconveniently located polling places were used to disenfranchise African Americans, including the tactic of making ferries 'out of order' on election day. The image is framed with a black bar at the top and bottom containing the name 'LYNDON B. JOHNSON' and the source citation.
