Full page ACLU ad in New Yorker "A Day in American History" 

large print title framed in black and voting booth at bottom. 

It's in the June 18 and 25th combined issue: 

Title: "There was a day in American History When Black People 

Counted Less Than White People, NOVEMBER 7, 2000." 


Begins: "Last election day Jermaine Terry went to the polls 

to do his duty as an American citizen. 

   Yet when he arrived, he was told that his name had been taken 

off the voter list.  There was no reason he should have been denied 

his right to vote. But there is something that made it more likely: 

Jeremiah Terry is black. 

    And he is just one of hundreds of thousand of black citizens 

across the country whose vote were never counted that day."
