The Southern Frontier, vol. 1, no. 12
Published by Commission on Interracial Cooperation (CIC), The Southern Frontier was a monthly newsletter, first issued in January, 1940.

Clark<br />Charles S. Johnson<br /><br />Selected articles are:<br /><br />“The South, the Supreme Court and Negro Education” – An article concerning the obstacles faced by graduate education-seeking African Americas in the South. <br /><br />“Negroes Must Serve on Grand Juries” – An article condemning instances of purposefully excluding African Americans from serving on juries.

Planks from the Suffrage Platform --as Stated by Mrs. C. C. Catt [anti-suffrage handbill]
Anti-suffrage handbill uses quotations to make its case that woman suffrage supports racial equality and will lead to intermarriage, advances feminist views, is unpatriotic and does not support the war effort or the Constitution of the United States. The Equal Suffrage League of Virginia and the Equal Suffrage League of Richmond are both named. <br /><br />The writer of the handbill asks, "Is our Constitution another scrap of paper? Do YOU endorse these doctrines?"
