Additional Details

"Somebody Paid the Price for Your Right: Register / Vote," featuring an uncredited photograph by Flip Schulke from the 1963 March on Washington. "Make it Real: Register / Vote." We trace neither of these posters on OCLC or at auction, though the Library of Congress holds an example of the "Somebody Paid the Price" poster. Another poster from this series with the same "Somebody Paid the Price" title depicts Martin Luther King, suggesting that they were issued after his assassination.
