ABC 11 reports that the photo image was from 1920.

The Fayetteville Observer reports:
Dawn McNair said she was surprised Sunday when her daughter pointed out the background on a political flier urging people to get out and vote.

The flyer is tagged with the line, "Concerned Citizens of Cumberland County."
