- Along with literacy tests, property or residency requirements, poll taxes were one of the methods used to prevent African Americans from voting beginning in the last quarter of the 19th century. After the Fifteenth Amendment enabled the right to vote to African Americans a number of states enacted poll tax laws as a legal method to restrict voting rights. The poll tax was especially effective in disenfranchising potential black voters since African Americans made up a disproportionate number of the poor who could not afford to pay.

- Dabney N. Montgomery is a documented original Tuskegee airman, a 2007 recipient of the Congressional Gold Medal and was an active participant in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, acting as a body guard for Martin Luther King Jr. during the Selma to Montgomery March of 1965.
- Description
- A black wood-framed shadowbox with two shoe heels and one burgundy knit necktie worn by Dabney N. Montgomery during the Selma to Montgomery March from March 21 to 25, 1965, and an address book containing the name and address of Martin Luther King, Jr. and others. The address book is cased in a plastic bag and is mounted to the gray mat board at the center top. Pre-printed black text for contact information is printed with four (4) contacts possible on each page. Seven (7) contacts are filled out by hand in black and blue ink, with King's at the top left page. The bottom right page pre-printed fill-in section is blank. An orange sticker with a black "1" is to the right of the book. The burgundy wool knit necktie is fastened with fishing line to the backing board at the top, middle, and bottom along the vertical left side. An orange sticker with a black "2" is to the bottom left of the tie. The black rubber shoe heels are placed side by side with the rounded back edges of the heels facing upward at the bottom right of the frame. Manufacturer information is stamped into the rubber, but is illegible because the heels are much worn. An orange sticker with a black "3" is to the right of the shoe heels. The mat board is held in place by metal pressure tabs around the back of the frame. There is no apparent hanging mechanism.

- Description
- A black and white photograph of a boy writing on a blackboard in a school classroom. The blackboard is on the wall on the left side of the image and the boy writes on bottom of the board with white chalk held high with his right hand. His left arm is bent and held to his side. He wears a light colored shirt and dark colored pants. The classroom is constructed of wooden planks and in the center of the image, a door is set crooked into the wall and labeled with a sign that reads [DOOR]. To the left of the door is a white rectangular board reading [BULLETIN] and a round clock without hands. A large desk sits in the middle of the floor with a ladder back chair set apart from it. A border depicting the letters of the alphabet, both upper case and lower case, wraps around the top of the walls, from above the blackboard on the left to the door at center. Just to the right of the door, another blackboard is partially visible, with [Alice] written at the top. On the back is an inscription with the photographer's name and several numerical notations.
