What Rockwell Will Do As Governor [Rockwell for Governor Campaign leaflet]
Two-sided campaign leaflet for George Lincoln Rockwell's 1965 gubernatorial campaign. One side appears to originate from Rockwell's organization, the American Nazi Party, and includes an advertisement for Hatenanny Records. The reverse contains a statement of belief from the Virginia Office of the United Klans of America, Chesapeake, Va. Rockwell's campaign platform promotes white schools, stopping federal bribery and extortion, law and order in Virginia, taxes and welfare, anti-subversive commission, and relocation benefits. His campaign values are supported by those of the Ku Klux Klan, which are enumerated in the pamplet, as well. The Ku Klux Klan was founded in 1866 by former Confederate soliders who sought to continue to intimidate and commit acts of violence against black Americans. Klan support and action surged in the 1920s, when they further adopted anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic, and anti-Semitic agendas. Likewise, there was another revival in the 1940s-1960s in response to the Civil Rights movement, school desegreation, and the pressure to end Jim Crow laws throughout the south. To maintain and garner support, the Klan associated themselves with Christianity, even using a burning cross to represent white Protestant identity. Mills E. Godwin, Jr. won the governorship with 296,526 of the 562,789 votes cast. Rockwell received 5,730 votes, coming in fourth behind Godwin, A. Linwood Holton, Jr. and William J. Story Jr.

Here Comes Whiteman [American Nazi Party comic book]
White supremacist comic book created for the American Nazi Party by member John Patler. Born John C. Patsalos, John Patler joined the American Nazi Party in 1960 and changed his name. The ANP had its headquarters in Arlington, Va. In 1967 Patler was expelled from the ANP after disagreeing with founder George Lincoln Rockwell. On August 25, 1967, Patler shot and killed Rockwell at an Arlington, Va. shopping center. "Here Comes Whiteman" was part of the ANP's efforts to spread their ideas to a larger audience. Their promotional campaign included a variety of publications, flyers, and even 45 RPM records of white supremacist music. Supporters of the ANP were expected to read and distribute materials like this comic and The Stormtrooper Magazine. In this comic book, Whiteman is the secret identity of Lew Cor ("Roc Wel" spelled backwards) who makes deliveries for the Arlington Milk Co. Lew Cor speaks the secret words "Lieh Geis" ("Sieg Heil" backwards), and in a flash of lightning is transformed into Whiteman, a costumed superhero with a swastika on his chest. In this issue Whiteman fights an "interplanetary duel" with characters named "The Jew from Outer Space" and "Supercoon."

The Opinion of Those Who Ought to Know: What Representative Negroes Say of the Interracial Movement [pamphlet]
A compilation of quotations from prominent Southern African Americans on the Commission on Interracial Cooperation. Included are Robert Russa Moton, Mary McLeod Bethune, Dr. Isaac Fisher, Dr. Alfred Lawless and others. Founded in Atlanta in 1919, the CIC functioned as the major race reform organization in the South during the period between the world wars. While it never openly challenged segregation or advocated racial equality, it did strive for an end to racial violence and for better treatment for all classes of black men and women (Bridging the Gap: The Commission on Interracial Cooperation, 2009). Excerpt, p.2 "Dr. R. R. Moton, Principal Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala.: 'The usefulness of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation has very far exceeded anything that I expected of it. Its actual service to the cause of mutual understanding and good will between the races has abundantly justified the time, labor, money and thought that have been put into it....'" p.3 "Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, President National Association of Colored Women: 'No agency has contributed more to the establishment and maintenance of tolerable relations between the black and white races in the South than has the Interracial Commission....A decrease in lynchings, an improvement in educational facilities, a sympathetic study of the Negro in clleges and universities, and the appearance of influential Negro leaders before selected audiences of white people, to discuss the race question from the Negro's angle, are some of the unusual and salutary concrete results of the activities of the Interracial Commission.'"

Southern White Women on Lynching and Mob Violence [pamphlet]
From front cover: "Excerpts from pronouncements of different Woman's State Committees on Race Relations" Statements from Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia; followed by Resolutions from the Woman's General Committee, Commission on Interracial Co-operation. From back cover: "Organizations of Women Co-operating with The Commission on Interracial Co-operation Presbyterian Church (South) Episcopal Church (National) Methodist Episcopal Church Methodist Episcopal Church (South) Baptist Church (South) Disciples Church (National) Congregational Church (National) Y. W. C. A. (National) Woman's Clubs (By States) National Federation Colored Woman's Clubs" From pp. 3 - 4 (Georgia) "We have a deep sense of appreciation for the chivalry of men who would give their lives for the purity and safety of the women of their own race, yet we feel constrained to declare our convictions concerning the methods sometimes employed in this supposed protection...we believe that 'no falser appeal can be made to Southern manhood than that mob-violence is necessary for the protection of womanhood,' or that the brutal practice of lyching and burning of human beings is an expression of chivalry. We believe that these methods are 'no protection to anything or anybody but that they jeopardize every right and every security that we possess." p.5 (Oklahoma) "We believe that the government should protect all citizens, regardless of class or color, and that life and property should be held sacred. We hold, therefore, that no circumstances can every justify such disregard of law and humand rights as in involved in the crime of lynching and other forms of mob violence, and that in no instance can this be regarded as an exhibition of chivalry. We pledge ourselves to efforts for creating in our citizenship a demand for full justice for the Negro; more consideration for his achievements; and less glaring publicity on crimes attributed to the race." p. 7 "RESOLVED, (1) That we deplore the failure of State Governments to handle this, the most conspicuous enemy to justice and righteousness, and the most flagrant violation of the Constitution of our great nation. (2) That we definitely set ourselves to the task of creating such sentiment as is possible to us in each State of our territory to the end that not only sufficient laws shall be enacted to enable the trusted officers of the law to discharge their full duty, but to secure the enforcement of the laws now in existance. (3)That this resolution be presented to all our co-operating organizations and State Committees in an effort to put into effect such plans as are necessary to secure a sustained effort on the part of our women to accomplishment of these ends." Founded in Atlanta in 1919, the CIC functioned as the major race reform organization in the South during the period between the world wars. While it never openly challenged segregation or advocated racial equality, it did strive for an end to racial violence and for better treatment for all classes of black men and women (Bridging the Gap: The Commission on Interracial Cooperation, 2009).

Eight and one-half Million Women Workers!
Pamphlet promoting the work of the National Women's Trade Union League of America. The NWTULA advocates for better working conditions, hours, and wages for women and girls. Cover illustration of a young female factory worker. Her apron and the smoke from factory smokestacks behind her are caught by the wind. Illustration by Winifred Bromhall, best known for her work as a children's book artist. Excerpts: p. 2 "According to the 1920 census, eight and one-half million women in the United States, 10 years of age and over, earn their own living and contribute to the support of others. This represents a half-million increase over 1910.... One out of every 4 women wage-earners is in one of the manufacturing and mechanical industries." p. 3 "A Way Out? Trade union organization--more and more of it--with its machinery for the collective merchandising of the day's work. Voices here and there, raised in individual protest, are not heard above the din of the modern industrial machine. But the collective voice of millions of women who know for themselves the toll exacted for unnatural strain will compel a hearing for their industrial ills."
