Caption reads: "Hundreds of pounds of clothing have been gathered by Ladies' Garment Workers Local 99 to aid the more than 20,000 Negroes dropped by Mississippi local officials from federal surplus commodities rolls. The Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) charges the action was in retaliation for efforts of Negro citizens to register for voting.
