Boating Not Busing [National Socialist White Peoples Party flyer]
Anti-busing, anti-integration, anti-government flyer created by the National Socialist White Peoples Party (previously named the American Nazi Party) of Arlington, Va.<br /><br />Using violent antisemitic and racist speech, this flyer paints a dire picture of an integrated America if white people don't "get away from the old two-party windle and get behind a REAL political party that represents THEIR interests!"<br /><br />While undated, this flyer is believed to date to around 1972 during the <a href="https://www.virginiahistory.org/collections-and-resources/virginia-history-explorer/civil-rights-movement-virginia/school-busing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">school busing</a> conflicts in Virginia.

Mammy Yokum and the Great Dogpatch Mystery
This comic book reprints a fable about prejudice and racial harmony by Al Capp. The story first appeared in Capp's <em>L'il Abner</em> comic strip. The comic book, printed and distributed by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, tells a fable about prejudice and racial harmony. <br /><br />When a family with square eyes moves into Dogpatch, the round-eyed residents form a mob to drive the newcomers away. When one of the square-eyed children is hurt, Mammy Yokum discovers that what she has in common with the new folks is more important than their differences. She stops the mob and helps her neighbors get to know the new family.<br /><br />Mammy Yokum declares, "We is all square shooters, so we gotta give them folks wif th' square eyes a square deal!! Th' l'il diff'runces between folks shouldn't hide th' big things thass th' same 'bout all of us!!"<br /><br /><br />The foreward to this publication was written by Henry Edward Schultz, National Chairman, Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. <br />The postscript was written by American author, Herman Wouk.

Suffrajests [handbill]
Anti-suffrage broadside poking fun at the woman suffrage movement. Filled with puns and inside jokes, the source and precise meaning of this publication are uncertain. <br /><br />Notes: The Square Deal was President Theodore Roosevelt's domestic program. <br /><br />The "hatchet" refers to Carrie Nation, the radical temperance activist. The "wets" (and "drys") were the two sides on the issue of prohibition. <br /><br />Some of the puns refer to foods made from corn: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grits" target="_blank" title="How do you make grits and hominy?" rel="noreferrer noopener">grits and hominy</a>. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postum" target="_blank" title="What is postum?" rel="noreferrer noopener">Postum</a> is a coffee substitute made from roasted wheat and molasses. <br /><br /><em>Paradise Lost</em> is an epic poem written by John Milton. The poem is divided into twelve sections known as "books." A "canto" is another word for the sections into which some long poems are divided. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Woman_Suffrage" target="_blank" title="What is this book?" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>The History of Woman Suffrage </em></a>quotes a line from <em>Paradise Lost</em>, "All is not lost: the unconquerable will is ours."<br /><br /><em><a href="http://dlib.nyu.edu/themasses/" target="_blank" title="Read issues of The Masses online" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Masses</a> </em>was a richly illustrated socialist magazine, published monthly from 1911 until 1917. <br /><br />Excerpts: <br />SUFFRAJESTS <br />If our husbands' socks are full of holes, <br />Our holier duty is at the polls....<br /><br />We didn't need the "hatchet"--we've got the "Club." Hurrah! <br /><br />Put your bets on the suffragettes. If you'll back them up they'll uphold the "wets." That's a stand off. <br /><br />We don't believe in "force"--it isn't what its "cracked up" to be. "Hominy" is better, and somes "grit" is necessary. You see, we "acknowledge the corn." (This isn't a cereal story.); if it were we'd "postum" up and raise some electioneering dough. Our road isn't all "peaches and cream," but we hope to get our desserts some day.... <br /><br />We are truly yours by a large majority, <br />THE SUFFRAJESTS<br />
