Scrapbook, 1947-1956.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/31523267

Scrapbook assembled by Elmore documenting his role in events surrounding the landmark civil rights case of Elmore v. Rice in which the U.S. federal court invalidated South Carolina's efforts to preserve its discriminatory primary system which excluded non-white voters. In the case of Elmore v. Rice, Judge J. Waties Waring ruled, on 12 July 1947, that the South Carolina Democratic Party could no longer exclude qualified African-American voters from participating in its primary elections; scrapbook includes articles clipped from Columbia, S.C., newspapers as well as from such sources as the Afro-American (Baltimore, Md.), the Pittsburgh Courier, and the Washington Post.
