Abstract

Moon, Henry Lee | September 27, 1952 issue

add to cart   close window

This article discusses the importance of voting behavior of Southern Negroes in presidential elections in the U.S. The hope of the Southern Negro to play a larger role in the politics of the region stems from the outlawing of the iniquitous "white primary" by the U.S. Supreme Court in April, 1944. The rebirth of Negro voting in the South may make possible the restoration of the two-party system in this region. The Negro vote is being solicited by Southern politicians as eagerly as by their Northern counterparts. Every men who have used their positions to block Negro progress toward full citizenship have surreptitiously sought Negro support.
