[CIVIL RIGHTS]. Join hands for equality Now...Join CORE. New York, NY: ca 1963.

14 x 21 5/8 in. printed poster (approx. 1 1/4 in. diagonal tear to upper edge, minor wear and tear to edges and corners). Union label to lower left.

The top half of the poster is made up of a half tone image of CORE worker Mimi Feingold linking arms with African American residents of West Feliciana Parish at a voter registration event in St. Francisville, Louisiana (taken by Bob Adelman but not credited). The bottom half consists of white and black text on an orange-red background reading: "Join hands for equality Now / in Employment / in Housing / in Schools / in Community / Join CORE."

The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) was founded in 1942 by a group of interracial students in Chicago, and was instrumental in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. The group was characterized by its policy of nonviolent direct action early on, supporting and/or organizing boycotts, sit-ins, and integrated bus rides that became known as Freedom Rides. Mimi Feingold got involved in the organization, participating in Freedom Rides and helping register Black voters in the South in the early 1960s.

This lot is located in Cincinnati.
