Report conducted by Jesse H. Turner, then-President of the Memphis Chapter of the NAACP, addressed to Robin Ulmer of the Southern Regional Council and Voter Education Project regarding the Black vote's influence over two Memphis run-off elections in 1967. The study found that the effectiveness of the Black vote dropped sharply in all contests after the top race. Qualified Black candidates could expect little white support in races, except in those token races where the bloc-voting whites felt they should allow Negroes. Neither Blacks nor whites were prepared to accept a Black as head of the city government. The NAACP needed to redouble its efforts to see that Blacks recognize issues in future campaigns and demand their share of the whole loaf. 5 pages.
