The U.S. National Student Association worked to gain support for those families in Mississippi whose breadwinners had lost jobs after registering to vote. These posters were for several events around Thanksgiving 1964, including a 'Fast for Freedom,' and fund raising on numerous campuses across the country. A later investigation proved that the CIA an NSA had investigated and infiltrated this and other student groups.
