Framed Print of Straw sombrero hat associated with Civil Rights campaign, Camden, Alabama, 1971-1972
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed discrimination (and therefore segregation) based on race, colour, religion, sex, national origin, and later sexual orientation and gender identity in the United States. However white resistance to the new act continued for years, especially in the South. A woven straw sombrero hat with a rounded crown and wide brim with rolled edges. The ends of some straw pieces are loose on the brim. The hat has writing in brown marker on the crown and underside of the brim. The words [Peace] and [Love] are written around the base of the crown. A floral design and additional text is found on the top of the crown. The underside of the brim is filled with additional writing. It includes names: [Carl], [Sophia], [Lena], and [Estella]. It also includes word and phrases: [Soul], [Sister], [Brother], and [Can you dig it]. The hat was worn by Lena Jo Anderson during the Civil Rights campaign in Camden, Alabama.
