- NAACP Press release re: Geneva Rushin, daughter of Rosa Lee Ingram stating that she is receiving support from the NAACP. Penciled note on back of the NAACP press release is by IWO and discusses its strategy on the case as a question of "principle" for which they are organizing and doing fund-raising. See correspondence with IWO and NAACP. The black Ingram family, mother and two sons, were convicted on murder charges in Georgia in 1948. The IWO worked with the Civl Rights Congress (CRC) and others to raise support for the Ingram case, a cause celebre in its day in regard to Southern juries, Jim Crow, violence, [perhaps] attempted rape, and sharecropping.
- Notes:
- 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.
