Black Ballots is an in-depth look at suffrage expansion in the
South from World War II through the Johnson administration. Steven
Lawson focuses on the "Second Reconstruction"--the struggle of
blacks to gain political power in the South through the
ballot-which both whites and black perceived to be a key element in
the civil rights process. Examining the struggle of civil rights
groups to enfranchise Negroes, Lawson also analyzes the responses
of federal and local officials to those efforts. He describes the
various techniques--from the white primary, the poll tax, literacy
tests, and restrictive registration procedures through sheer
intimidation--that were developed by white southerners to
perpetuate disfranchisement and the sundry methods used by blacks
and their white allies to challenge them.
