IWO JPFO Organizational History - Description:
- 162 pages. Translated Summary: Book "New Order 1932" from the IWO Youth Section with 1932 bound newsletter Barricade which has some excellent graphics on fighting Jim Crowism. It explains the purpose of youth section: “to give an expression to the athletic, social and cultural desires and requirements of the young worker and working class student.” (Back of newsletter). Reports from the local branches include descriptions of social activities and such summary even complains that there is not enough political activity. Articles vary. Some deal with civil rights, some are reprinted from the Daily Worker, and some deal with issues explicitly of interest to young people, such as democracy and free speech in high school, or lowering the voting age to 18. Inside cover has stamp "International Workers Order Education Department" with an ascension number and a catalogue number 334.31105.
- Note:
- The Jewish People’s Fraternal Order was the largest ‘national’ section of the International Workers Order (IWO) which focused on cultural awareness and celebration, mutual support especially in health insurance coverage, and anti-fascist activities. The IWO also gave particular emphasis to supporting the rights and interests of African Americans.
