One Man One Vote." Poster
1963ref. BK0076Atlanta Georgia: Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee 1963. Original illustrated poster approximately 14 x 22 inches printed in black and white by Lincoln Lithograph Company with photograph by Danny Lyon and SNCC's Atlanta address at 8 ½ Raymond Street N.W. Some edge wear and small losses at corners with scattered surface wear; overall a strong well-preserved example very good minus with toning. One of the best-known posters produced by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee pairing the slogan "One Man One Vote" with Danny Lyon's photograph of a Black Southern farmer seated outside his home. Lyon joined SNCC in the early 1960s and became the organization's first staff photographer producing images that were used in posters pamphlets and other publications documenting its organizing campaigns. The Seattle Public Library dates the poster to 1963 and notes that SNCC used the slogan in its Southern voter-registration work; the Smithsonian dates surviving examples to 1963-65.12 At the time voting rights had become central to SNCC's work in Mississippi and elsewhere in the South. Rather than depicting a march or confrontation Lyon's image places the emphasis on an individual prospective voter with the large typographic slogan occupying nearly half the upper field. The photograph and Lyon's credit appear directly in the design while the printer's imprint and union bug appear along the lower margin. Institutional examples are held by the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History and the Seattle Public Library. 1 Seattle Public Library "'One Man One Vote' poster ca. 1963" accessed October 6 2026 https://spl.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p16118coll37/id/1079/. 2 Smithsonian National Museum of American History "One Man One Vote" accessed October 6 2026 https://www.si.edu/object/nmah_1160327. .
