    Caption
    This photograph is part of a scrapbook that was compiled in 1956 and 1957 by Frances Albrier during her term as president of the San Francisco Chapter of the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW). The scrapbook highlights the Chapter’s efforts to register voters and educate Bay Area residents on the importance of voting as a part of the Citizenship Education Project which was jointly sponsored by the NCNW and the National Urban League.
    Description
    A black-and-white photograph of ten women lined up with signs along the Citizenship Education Project's motorcade route encouraging voting and voter registration. There is a typewritten caption on a white strip of paper below the photograph that reads, "LINING-UP FOR MOTORCADE." The photograph is adhered to page 24 of Frances Albrier's scrapbook (2010.60.1).
