In Appreciation of Negro History Week: "Democracy and the Negro People"
- Description:
- "In Appreciation of Negro History Week." "The IWO Presents its Annual Bulletin." "Read and Distribute it." "Order Now" costs three cents. Translated Summary: "NEGRO HISTORY WEEK provides the opportunity to emphasize the achievements of the Negro people in terms of the basic issues of these times: the fight for equality and for Negro rights as part of the tasks and struggles for the wellbeing of the American people....THE NEGRO PEOPLE, allies of labor, have been and are a powerful bulwark of progress and democracy. Their historic achievements in art, industry, culture and social advance have strengthened the march of progressive America.... THE UNBREAKABLE UNITY of Negro and white is the burning need of these decisive days when the peoples’ ranks must be solidly formed for the winning of democracy, security and lasting peace, and for the defeat of Jim Crow and anti-Semitism, to end lynching and all forms of discrimination."
