8 1/2 x 11 in. printed broadside issued by the NAACP Voter Education Project (soiling, possible dampstaining, tape repairs to marginal tears and areas of separation).

Between 1962 and 1964, the Voter Education Project (VEP) sponsored 129 voter campaigns, spent over $85,000, and registered approx. 688,000 Black southerners - all before the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The VEP not only helped with registration, but it also collected data from across eleven southern states to document disenfranchisement.

The VEP coordinated the voter registration campaigns of five civil rights groups, including the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the NAACP, the Congress of Racial Equality, and the National Urban League, under the auspices of the Southern Regional Council (SRC), a non-profit research organization. The creation of the VEP enabled foundations to make tax-free donations directly to voter registration efforts, which were then coordinated by SRC to prevent duplicate coverage areas.
