Title
The Loyolan: Conference for New Voters
Description
A two-page spread in the Loyolan yearbook of 1972 shows three photos from the three-day Conference for New Voters held at Loyola, run by the National Youth Causus to increase youth influence on the 1972 election. The top left photo shows a group of attendees huddled close and speaking, with one attendee standing higher than the others. The lower left photo shows a speaker walking between rows of seated attendees, gesturing with one hand. The right photo shows a speaker at a podium and a packed house, including an attendee with a camera and a balcony where attendees sit, dangling legs down over the side.
The caption reads:
"The tone was anti-Nixon, pro-peace, pro-economic stability, and pro-racial equality.
Representatives of political minorities-- the blacks, Chicanos and Latinos, and "the ladies"-- in some cases struggled to be heard."
