Culture Front- Publishing - Description:
- Text of a telegram to Harry Truman on the death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Includes printer's instructions [top right] indicating that it was an open letter, intended for printing in a newspaper or other publication. The note chiefly expresses mourning for a wartime leader depicted as a friend of the Jewish people, and pledges that the JPFO's 47,000 membeers will support Truman in his vow to carry on as Roosevelt would have done.
- 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.
