- Flyer for October 23, 1952 rally convened by the Civil Rights Congress to save the Rosenbergs to be held at Central Plaza (111 Second Avenue, near E. 7th Street, NY). Speakers include B.Z. Goldberg, W. E. B. Du Bois, Rabbi Samuel Buchler, Helen Sobell and Morris Carnovsky. Flyer notes: "Although one third of New York's residents are Jewish, the jury did not have a single Jewish person on it." It also compares the Rosenberg death penalty with the relatively lenient sentences given to famous Nazi supporters and war-crime perpetrators. The Rosenbergs are sentenced to death on April 5, 1951 and executed on June 19, 1953.
- Notes:
- An early typed draft of Du Bois' text from the rally: http://credo.library.umass.edu/view/full/mums312-b202-i056
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.
