notes: label: Description
content: This object is a print silkscreened in white, gray, and black on cream-colored textured paper. The graphic depicts an abstracted view of a protest march in white, gray, and black, with the leader of the march carrying a sign that reads "stand up for the Freedom Democrats." The letters MFDP, for Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, appear in the lower right area of the graphic. The Freedom Democrats, or the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party as they were also called, were a small but active civil rights-based political body that existed from 1964 till about 1967 to encourage voter registration and overall political participation of African Americans and alter the vote of what had been the all-white Mississippi Democratic Party.
