![Excerpt of a campaign brochure for the Lowndes County (Alabama) Freedom Organization LCFO circa October, 1966.
Reading "One Man - One Vote" above the now iconic depiction of an attacking Black Panther besides a white rooster with a big "Mayor" pin, seperated by a "VS.".
Beneath a text reads, "Their symbol is the "Black Panther" which stands for courage, determination, and freedom. It was chosen as an appropriate response to the racist Alabama Democratic Party symbol, the white rooster and its slogan, "White Supremacy / For the Right.""
["Because of Alabama’s high rate of adult illiteracy, every political party in the state had to have a ballot symbol."]](https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/117/445/091/513/309/961/original/c3a693e4c56c7d96.webp)
