- Description:
- Correspondence From Samuel F. Daly to Geraldine Thompson regarding a booklet, "How to Register and Vote in North Carolina" from 1944. Daly used to teach African Americans to register and vote while working as a high school teacher in Warren County, N.C., but was fired for his efforts. The sender reported the incident to the State Board of Education, which resulted in the superintendent being found guilty of embezzlement and sentenced to ten years in prison, after a white citizen made complaints.
