Additional Details

a rare copy of this pamphlet, distributed by SDS (Students for a Democratic Society), the organizers of the voter registration drive in rural Alabama. It was here that Stokely Carmichael and others had come, in the fall of 1965, at the invitation of the people of Lowndes County, to help them organize a voter registration drive. The Panther logo was later to become the symbol of the Party in California, but this was its origin.
