The MFDP series documents Hamer's involvement in this organization and contains information about the various FDP chapters throughout the state, especially the Delta area. Materials pertaining to voter registration comprise the majority of records, which consists of registration rosters and volunteer applications for registration workers and block captains. Also included are the various FDP chapter political handbooks and manuals that were distributed to teach citizens of Mississippi about voting rights. Campaign materials for MFDP candidates can also be found within this series. There is relatively little documentation for the MFDP's role in national politics.
