An account of the resource
Pro-suffrage pamphlet containing editorial cartoons by <a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Lou+Rogers" target="_blank" title="cartoons by Lou Rogers" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lou Rogers</a>, Phil Porter, and <a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=John+T.+McCutcheon" target="_blank" title="cartoons by John T. McCutcheon" rel="noreferrer noopener">John T. McCutcheon</a>, along with a map showing where women can vote.<br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />p.1 (cover) "WHY SHOULD WOMEN VOTE? <br />This booklet contains all the OBJECTIONS to woman suffrage, their ANSWERS, and the CREAM of all that has been said or written on this subject from Moses and Plato down to Saint Paul and the year of our Lord, 1915. <br /><br />The map that's more than half woman suffrage already -- what's the matter with making it ALL woman suffrage?<br /><br />In the LIGHT States, women enjoy full suffrage. In the shaded States, women have taxation, bond, or school suffrage. In Illinois, women have Presidential, partial county and State, and municipal suffrage. In the DARK States, women have NO vote at all. <br /><br />AN APPEAL TO GALLANT MEN."<br /><br />p. 4 "Which side will get YOUR vote?...<br /><br />Chief Justice Green said, 'The opponents of woman suffrage in Washington find themselves allied with a solid phalanx of gamblers, pimps, prostitutes, drunkards and drunkard-makers.' <br /><br />When respectable people find themselves in alliance with scoundreldom, is it not worth while to stop and consider whether they have not taken their stand in the wrong company?"

Virginia Federation of Labor Convention Badge. Bristol, Va., April 3, 4, 5, 1922
Description
An account of the resource
Virginia Federation of Labor delegate's convention badge. Delegates represented local unions at the state gathering. <br /><br /><span>The Virginia Federation of Labor was aligned with the <a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/show/228" target="_blank" title="AFL Song" rel="noreferrer noopener">American Federation of Labor</a>, the powerful organization of unions led by Samuel Gompers. Although southern workers struggled to organize successfully in large numbers, unions nonetheless became a force. Between 1885 and 1890, according to one historian, twenty-three national or international unions organized locals in Virginia. Another scholar estimates that by the turn of the twentieth century, about 10% of Richmond’s industrial workers were represented by unions. That success was tempered, however, by the pervasive racism of the period. <br /><br />When the Knights of Labor held a national convention in Richmond in 1886, the New York delegation was refused accommodations because one of their members was an African American. By 1919 progress in racial cooperation had been made at the national level. That progress was reflected at the Virginia State Federation of Labor’s annual convention, in the same year, in Alexandria. W.H. Page, of Newport News, became the first African American to be appointed to the Virginia group’s executive council. Black labor leaders, and black newspapers, praised the move, but it also prompted angry backlash. Some two thousand white unionists, of Richmond, left the Federation of Labor in protest of Page’s appointment. Those episodes evoke the racial tensions of the Jim Crow South.</span><br /><br />Image Description: <br />This round badge has blue lettering on a white background with a multi-color <a href="https://archive.org/details/statearmsofunion00lpra/page/n7" target="_blank" title="State Arms of the Union, L. Prang & Co, 1876" rel="noreferrer noopener">coat of arms of Virginia</a> in the center. <br /><br />Inscribed in blue: "27TH ANNUAL CONVENTION / VA. FEDERATION OF LABOR" above the seal and "APRIL 3.4.5, 1922, BRISTOL, VA." below. <br /><br />Suspended from oval badge inscribed : "DELEGATE". <br />The back of the badge reads "The Whitehead and Hoag Co. Buttons, Badges, Novelties and Signs. Newark, N.J."

One side uses quotations from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Messenger_(magazine)" target="_blank" title="The Messenger (magazine)" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>The Messenger</em></a> (1917-1928) to associate woman suffrage, black voting, and a socialist takeover of the United States government. <br /><br />The handbill argues that Socialists will benefit if a "Force Bill" introduced by Senator <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Eli_Watson" target="_blank" title="James Eli Watson" rel="noreferrer noopener">James E. Watson</a> of Indiana were to be passed to enforce the 19th Amendment.

Elihu Root Warns the South [anti-suffrage broadside]
Description
An account of the resource
Broadside publishing an essay by James Callaway, editor of the <em>Macon Telegraph</em> and an ardent anti-suffragist. <br /><br />Callaway quotes Senator William Borah: <br /><br />"The cornerstone of the very fabric of our system is the right of local self-government as to who shall vote in the State, or who shall own property and lands or attend schools in a State. These are prerogatives of the State, not of the Federal government. What I am contending for is this--that which is local in its nature as I conceive this suffrage matter to be, should be permitted to remain local. <br /><br />The right to vote can never, in the nature of things, under our system be other than a local question, for upon it rests the very integrity and the sovereignty of the State." <br /><br />Callaway discusses "complications" with the Federal government (including the Supreme Court that had decided against disenfranchisement laws) brought about when States cannot decide who gets to vote. He declares that the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_primaries" target="_blank" title="white primaries" rel="noreferrer noopener">white primary</a> was important for protecting white rural women in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Belt_(U.S._region)" target="_blank" title="definition of "black belt" region of the U.S." rel="noreferrer noopener">black belt</a> and making it safe for them to leave their homes without escort. <br /><br />"Talk about emancipation of women--of freedom and a war for humanity--when the Susan B. Anthony amendment will close the public highways to our women of the rural districts, and again make them the victims of the 'terrorism,' that frightfulness which superinduced nervous debility."

Senator John T. Morgan Denounces Woman Suffrage. "He Being Dead, yet Speaketh"
Description
An account of the resource
Anti-suffrage broadside that argues voting will corrupt women, and, more urgently, that increasing the number of black votes will bring about the end of white supremacy in Alabama. The words of Senator <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tyler_Morgan" target="_blank" title="John Tyler Morgan" rel="noreferrer noopener">John Tyler Morgan</a>, a staunch proponent of white supremacist ideology, and Judge <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Henry_Tayloe" target="_blank" title="William Henry Tayloe" rel="noreferrer noopener">William Henry Tayloe</a>, a wealthy plantation owner, are quoted. Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper are mentioned. <br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />"White Supremacy Totters in Alabama. Men of the South, Shall It Fall? Woe Be Unto That Man who Would Betray Us. Judge W. H. Tayloe, one of Alabama's Ablest and Informed Statesmen, adds this Warning, Backed by Facts, Figures and Personal Experience." <br /><br />"It is not the moral influence of woman upon the ballot that I am objecting to, and it is not to get rid of that, or to silence or destroy such influence that I oppose it, but it is the IMMORAL influence of the ballot upon woman, that I depreciate and would avoid. <br />I do not want to see her drawn into contact with the rude things of this world, where the delicacy of her senses and sensibilities would be constantly wounded by the attrition with bad and desperate and foul politicians and men. Such is not her function and is not her office; and if we degrade her from the high station that God has place her in to put her at the ballot-box, at political or other elections, we UNMAN ourselves and refuse to do the duties that God as assigned to us." <br /><br />"Though the Supreme Court of the Nation has held that the 14th and 15th amendments were not grants of power to Congress but limitations upon the power of the States; yet it found a way to declare void the provisions of the Constitution of Oklahoma that eliminated the negro in that State as a voter. How soon will it find a way to require the States to let the negro vote? Who can tell?" <br /><br />"Men of the South, the 15th Amendment but sleeps. Write your State Legislators TO-DAY to VOTE AGAINST WOMAN SUFFRAGE."

Virginia Warns Her People Against Suffrage [broadside]
Description
An account of the resource
Reprint of an editorial from the <em>Richmond Evening Journal</em>, May 4, 1915. <br /><br />"Virginia Warns Her People Against Suffrage <br />---- <br />Twenty-nine counties would go under Negro Rule Over sixty counties in the State of Georgia <br />The entire State of Mississippi <br />----- <br />What of your state, your country? Isn't it about time for reflecting men and women to think--and act? <br />---- <br />THE THREATENED COUNTIES <br />From the Richmond Evening Journal May 4, 1915--Republished by Request <br /><br />Several times The Richmond Evening Journal has be asked to say which counties of Virginia have more colored than white female inhabitants. The question , of course, is in connection with the somewhat noisy demands we read of in the newspapers for "votes for women." Here is the list, from the United States census of 1910:<br /><br />...It is to be remembered that the literacy test would not work in choking off the colored woman vote. The colored people are decreasing their percentage of illiteracy very fast, especially among their women and girls. The ladies of the suffrage league will hardly come forward with a property test. No safeguard would be left but the poll tax; and if colored women knew they could get votes and rule some very rich and important counties by paying $1.50 apiece, we are inclined to think most of them would be willing to go hungry, if necessary to do it. <br /><br />Probably the ladies engaged in this suffrage movement are not very practical or very logical or very well informed or disposed to bother their heads with the actual facts of politics. Most of them, we surmise, hold the somewhat vague, but firmly established feminine line of reasoning that when they want something , or think they want it, they ought to have it by all principles of wisdom and justice; and are prepared always to fall back on the traditional conclusive feminine argument "because."

Description
An account of the resource
A news digest published by the Department of Race Relations, Federal Council of Churches, New York, NY. <br /><br />The Federal Council of Churches was an ecumenical association of Protestant denominations in the United States founded in Philadelphia in 1908. It merged with other ecumenical bodies in 1950 to form the present day National Council of Churches. <br /><br />Masthead: "Gleanings from press releases and other sources to inform busy but sincere people of some of the things affecting the lives of racial minorities. Let's do away with walls ! 'We are all one in Christ Jesus.'<br />The Material in the News Service is given for information and is not to be construed as declarations of official attitudes or policies of the Department of Race Relations or the Federal Council of Churches." <br /><br />This issue takes a look back at 1939, noting important stories and trends. Topics include lynchings, jobs and organized labor, peonage, housing, civil rights, health, law, spots, arts, religion, literature, World War 2, and science.<br /><br />Selected notices:<br />p. 1 "The Department of Records of Tuskegee Institute lists only three lynchings for the year 1939, a sharp decrease from former years. In eighteen instances law enforcement officers were credited with preventing lynchings, saving twenty-five persons from 'the hands of mobs,'" <br /><br />p. 2 "The right to vote has been sought with new vigor by Negroes in Southern states. The Klan was revived in an effort to terrify Negroes and keep them from registering in Florida and South Carolina...." <br /><br />"The refusal of library service was dramatized in Alexandria, Va., where the public librarian called the police to remove five colored youths who sought service in this public institution. Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, Director of Negro Affairs for the NYA reported at a meeting of the Southern Education Foundation that only 14 per cent of 509 public libraries in 13 Southern stataes provided service for Negroes."<br /><br />"Health facilities for Negroes are notably lacking. A study in Mississippi made by the American Medical Association showed that there was only one Negro physician for each 14,221 colored persons and only 731 beds in general hospitals for the entire Negro population of more than a million in the state. It is estimated that 75 per cent of the deaths from tuberculosis are Negroes but only 40 beds are available for their care. This represents the worst type of situation." <br /><br />p. 3 "Joe Louis world's heavyweight champion, defended his title four times in 1939." <br /><br />"Marian Anderson, internationally known contralto, soared to new heights when she sang to 75,000 and a nationwide radio audience from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, after exclusion by the D. A. R. from using Constitution Hall." <br /><br />"The threatened growth of anti-Semitism has intensified the study of race relations and many church groups have broadened their consideration of race to include this problem." <br /><br />"The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues issued a statement declaring that experiments showed no characteristic inherent psychological differences to distinguish so-called 'races.'" <br /><br />"From the American Jewish Committee, New York...<br />Stimulated by the meeting between representatives of the Jewish press and Negro organizations held at the end of September, the Jewish press in the United States has undertaken a systemic campaign to improve relations between Negroes and Jews."

It merged with other ecumenical bodies in 1950 to form the present day National Council of Churches. <br /><br />Masthead: "Gleanings from press releases and other sources to inform busy but sincere people of some of the things affecting the lives of racial minorities. Let's do away with walls ! 'We are all one in Christ Jesus.'<br />The Material in the News Service is given for information and is not to be construed as declarations of official attitudes or policies of the Department of Race Relations or the Federal Council of Churches." <br /><br />This issue contains numerous stories regarding efforts by African Americans to secure equal treatment in educational opportunity. One item reports the removal of "Little Black Sambo" from San Diego, Ca. kindergartens. <br /><br />There are also notices regarding issues of race and various Christian denominations. Other stories concern relief sent to Native Americans in areas hit by drought, the hiring of M. Leo Bohanon to the position of Director of Social Work in Minneapolis, Mn., and a story about the adoption of black children evacuated from London [in "Operation Pied Piper"] and the surprise they carried.

Social Justice, February 13, 1939
Description
An account of the resource
Front and back covers of <em>Social Justice, </em>February 13, 1939. <br /><br /><em> Social Justice</em> was a national weekly periodical published by Father Charles Coughlin during the late 1930s and early 1940s<em>. </em>Couglin was a Canadian-American Roman Catholic priest based near Detroit, Michigan. Coughlin hosted a weekly radio show that reached an estimated 30 million listeners. <br /><br /><em>Social Justice</em> was controversial for publishing anti-Semitic polemics. Eventually, the periodical's mailing permit was revoked and Father Coughlin's radio show was forced off the air. <br /><br />Excerpts:<br /><br />Front cover: "Make Your Choices" <br />[Image Description: A man stands stroking his beard as he contemplates two statues, one of Abraham Lincoln and the other of Lenin.] <br /><br />"Today, this nation makes a mental pilgrimage to Springfield, Illinois, there to pay memorial tribute at the tomb of Abraham Lincoln. <br />The rough, honest frontiersman lawyer who became a wartime President of the United States, has become a symbol of the Typical American. He is the Poor Man's President, the Great Emancipator, the Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, and a martyr because he opposed dis-union and the international bankers. <br /><br />Across the world, another tomb--that of Lenin in the Red Square of Moscow--is also a center of pilgrimage and the symbol of internationalism. <br /><br />Disciples of Lenin and followers of Lincoln are today in conflice in this country. And no American can be a 'neutral.' <br /><br />Which hero, Lenin or Lincoln? On which side are YOU--Americanism or Communism?"<br /><br />Back cover: "The 'Smut' Vendor"<br />[Image Description: A man stands before a newsstand, smoking a cigarette and holding out a salacious magazine to the viewer. Behind him the shelves are filled with periodicals with titles such as "Smut," "Scandal," "Slime," "Passion," and "Scum."] <br /><br />"Our Man of the Week is a merchandiser of sensation, of propaganda disguised as entertainment, and of outright subversion of morality. <br /><br />The artist has sought to catch the evil spirit of his menace. Readers of <em>Social Justice</em> were introduced last week to the 'Mystical Body of Satan'--on the racks of any modern newstand on may survey his work.<br /><br />Confident that America is a 'Christian' country, we have permitted to thrive and prosper off our indifference, a progressively flagrant affronting of common decency, to say nothing of Christian morals. <br /><br />Encouraged by our tolerance, the Smut Vendors have grown bolder: from off-color joke illustrated by daring cartoons, the magazines have retrograded rapidly into deliberate filth. Feminine nudity and bad taste in 'candid camera reporting' is a commonplace for the nation's children. <br /><br />The remedy is in YOUR hands. Tell your newsstand dealer what magazines offend and why. Tell the advertisers who support these magazines why you think their editorial contents ought not to be supported.<br /><br />A Legion of Decency some years ago cleaned up Hollywood's rotten films; let's clean up the newsstands!"

Shoulder to Shoulder. March for ERA [handbill]
Description
An account of the resource
Handbill advertising a march in support of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). The rally was held on Saturday, May 2, 1981 in Raleigh, North Carolina. <br /><br />The deadline for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment was 1982; however, Congress has the power to extend that deadline. The states that have not ratified the amendment as of January 2019 are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah, and Virginia. <br /><br />This handbill shows silhouettes of people walking with their arms around each other. Beneath the image is a quote from Susan B. Anthony, "There will never be another season of silence until women have the same rights as men have on this green earth." <br /><br />Text: <br />March for ERA<br />Noon Saturday May 2 Raleigh<br /><br />Carolinians and friends will be marching to the grounds of the State Capitol in Raleigh to celebrate eight years of working "shoulder to shoulder" for E.R.A. ratification and the basic justice which E.R.A. represents. s [sic] <br /><br />Those participating in the "rally in Raleigh" will be making a statement of E.R.A. support in North Carolina and other states. They will be delivering the message that "The dream still lives. The hope will never die." <br /><br />If you wish to participate, call the Virginia Council office for details and directions.

Don't You Want to Reduce the High Cost of Living? [suffrage tri-fold]
Description
An account of the resource
Publication of the National Woman Suffrage Publishing Company, Inc. 171 Madison Avenue, New York City. <br /> <br />Cover illustration by Rose O'Neill. <br /><br />This pamphlet tells women that, without the vote, all they can do is manage their own households. With the vote, they can bring about governmental protection of the food supply. Women are reminded to be careful housekeepers. "Don't Throw Away a Scrap of Food." Some recipes for careful housekeeping are printed on the final page.<br /><br />At the time this publication was printed, the United States was entering World War I. Rising food prices and limited supplies affected American citizens as food was shipped to soldiers and allies in Europe. Slogans and promotions such as "<a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/show/108" target="_blank" title="See postmark" rel="noreferrer noopener">Food will win the war</a>" and "<a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/show/411" target="_blank" title="WWI Poster about food consumption" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wheatless Wednesdays</a>" urged Americans to eat less and eliminate waste.

Virginia Suffrage News, vol. 1, no. 1, October 1, 1914
Description
An account of the resource
First issue of the Virginia Suffrage News, a monthly newspaper published by the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia. <br /><br />From masthead p. 4<br />Alice Overbey Taylor, Managing Editor<br />Mr.s G. Harvey Clarke (Mary Pollard Clarke), Editor-in-Chief <br />Contributing Editors: <br />Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett<br />Mrs. Kate Langley Bosher<br />Mrs. Emma Speed Sampson<br />Miss Mary Johnston<br />Mr. Carter Wormeley<br />Mrs. Sally Nelson Robins<br />Miss Cally Ryland <br /><br />The lead article is "W. J. Bryan, Secretary of State, Declares for Woman Suffrage" <br /><br />Foreword message from Lila Meade Valentine, President of the ESL of Virginia (p. 1)<br /><br />"The movement for the enfranchisement of woman has become so widespread in Virginia that there is great need for a regular means of communication between workers and sympathizers in all parts of the State....<br /><br />For this is pre-eminently a co-operative movement--one in which good team work is required--one in which we must all pull together with a right good will. <br /><br />To do this effectively, we need the stimulus of the exchange of ideas, we need to inform ourselves of the activities of our local Leagues, as well as of the larger movement outside.<br /><br />To meet these needs, I commend to the suffragists of the State the "<strong>Virginia Suffrage News</strong>," which should bind us together in one harmonious whole, and I bespeak for it a wide circulation amongst all those interested in this next great step in the development of women." <br /><br />p. 8 "Suffragists Chuckle Over 'Etching' That Was Never Made for 'Lack of Space.'" recounts the story of an anti-suffrage essay contest held by the Richmond <em>News-Leader</em>, an "all-white" paper. The newspaper intended to publish an etching (portrait) of the winner until it was discovered that she was an African American.
