Travis, Fred

Description

This article draft written by Fred Travis discusses the trial in the Federal District Court concerning African American voting rights. Travis includes arguments of both whites and blacks and their sides of the debate on voting rights' impact on land usage. Travis looks at the evidence presented in court on whether or not African Americans who had voted were evicted from their tenant land because of voting. Travis includes quotes from eviction notices and also includes a quote from a salesman who was told by the store owners "not to extend credit to names that appear on a list." This list contained names of people on the Haywood County Civic and Welfare League.
