Additional Details

A patronizing and racist poster offering the absurd option to black voters: Vote Democrat and you'll be prosperous and own a Cadillac, or vote Republican and face abject poverty. The real irony of this poster is that without exception, all 20th century progressive social legislation for the African-American has come from Democrats-- but that is on a national, not local level.
