label: Description
content: A newspaper clipping describing the actions and participants of the Citizen Education Project's September 8, 1956 motorcade through the Fillmore District of San Francisco. The article, written by Connie Delgado, lists the groups that took part in the motorcade and urges readers to register to vote before the September 13th deadline. The photograph adjacent to the article depicts young children and members of the San Francisco Chapter of the National Council of Negro Women with placards standing next to a car that was part of the motorcade. The photograph was taken by Cox Studios. The clipping was found between pages eight (8) and nine (9) of the scrapbook compiled by Frances Albrier (2010.60.1).
