M. Morris Jackson was elected to the Ohio State Senate in 1966 and served from 1967 to 1984.

Description

Prizes are ready to be handed out at this fundraiser advocating one Black and two white Democratic candidates. In addition to M. Morris Jackson, this event tried to raise support for Michael Feighan, who represented the west side of Cleveland in the US House of Representatives from 1943 to 1971, and a third candidate. The prizes appear to be two hams and a basket of grocery items.
A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts six people with medium-dark skin tones standing behind a table. Three men in suits and three women in dresses stand in a row. In the center, a man stands behind a basket of goods and a silver-wrapped form. On the far right, a woman in a strapless gown stands beside a microphone. Political posters for Jackson and Feighan hang in the background above the group.
