A Practical Approach to the Race Problem. Origin and Work of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation.
A pamphlet explaining the origin and mission of the <a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Commission+on+Interracial+Cooperation" target="_blank" title="materials related to the CIC" rel="noreferrer noopener">Commission on Interracial Cooperation</a>, an organization founded in January, 1919 in Atlanta. The group sought to further "mutual understanding, peace, and good will" between the white and black communities. The group opposed lynching and mob violence, and sought to improve interracial attitudes, correct injustices and improve conditions affecting African Americans. <br /><br />The CIC was a moderate group that called itself a "movement" instead of an organization. "The philosophy of the movement is not that of 'seeking to solve the race problem,' but simply that of taking the next practicable step in the direction of interracial justice and good will" (p. 4).

An Introduction to the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan [United Klans of America pamphlet]
Pamphlet outlining the beliefs and membership requirements of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (United Klans of America). This pamphlet was produced by the <span>Virginia Office, United Klans of America, in Chesapeake. It includes a statement by Robert M. Shelton, identified as Imperial Wizard.<br /><br />Excerpts:<br /><br />"The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan...is not now making and does not intend to make any fight on the Roman Catholic Church as a religious institutions, but it will unalterably and unequivocally oppose any move of the Catholic Church or of any other church, individual or organization which attempts to bring about a combination of church and state in these United States." <br /><br />"The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan is not the enemy of the negro. It opposes and will continue to oppose, the efforts of certain negro organizations and periodicals which are sowing the seeds of discontent and racial hatred among the negros of this country by preaching and teaching social equality and mongrelization of the races....we hold it is obligatory upon the negro race, and upon all othered colored races in America to recognize that they are living in the land of the white race by courtesy of the white race; and the white race cannot be expected to surrender to any other race, either in whole or in part, the control of its vital and fundamental governmental affairs." <br /><br />"No Jew can obtain citizenship in the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan....The constitution and regulations of the Order set forth that the living Christ is the Klansman's criterion of character. Therefore, it would be unjust to allow the Jew to enter into the fellowship with the Klavern by appealing to his patriotism, and then have him cease to attend because every meeting would be out of harmony with his religious convictions." <br /><br />"Be it known, that the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan was YESTERDAY, is TODAY and will FOREVER be opposed to Communism in any form and to its fellow-travelor organizations. The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan will fight to our last breath, using every means at our disposal to rid our country of this insidious plague of mankind."</span>

Beware! Men of the South [anti-suffrage handbill]
An anti-suffrage handbill which attempted to sway men's opinions by making them fearful. This one asks the reader to recall the American Civil War, which had taken place during their parents' lifetime.<br /><br />Text: <br /><br />"BEWARE! <br />MEN OF THE SOUTH: Heed not the song of the suffrate siren! Seal your ears against her vocal wiles! For, no matter how sweetly she may proclaim the advantage of female franchise, --<br /><br />REMEMBER that Woman Suffrage mean a re-opening of the entire Negro Suffrage question; loss of state rights; and another period of reconstruction horrors, which will introduce a set of female carpetbaggers as bad as their male prototypes of the sixties.<br /><br />DO NOT JEOPARDIZE the present prosperity of your sovereign states, which was so dearly bought by the blood of your fathers and the tears of your mothers, by again raising an issue which has already been adjusted at so great a cost. <br /> <br />NOTHING can be gained by woman suffrage and everything may be lost!

Burnt Cork and Crime
Pamphlet published by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, an organization which opposed lynching and promoted interracial dialogue and cooperation.<br /><br />Described on the cover as "stories summarized from press reports," the pamphlets relates incidents in which crimes were committed by persons posing as African Americans. These imposters blackened their faces and hands with burnt cork. <br /><br />Other stories describe false accusations by whites, and often white women, against black men. <br /><br />Excerpt from p.1<br />"In St. Louis some time ago a robber caught with blackened face stated that there was an organized group of white bandits who always operated under the mask of color. In this way, he said, it was easy to fool the officers, and in some cases even to assist in the search for the suspected Negro and 'identify' him when caught."<br /><br />p. 6 "The meaning is obvious, however, as it relates to hasty judgment, hysteria, mob violence, and the assumption that every Negro is guilty who anybody seeks to accuse. It suggests also that the statistics of Negro crime, now happily changing for the better, might be further lightened if all the facts were known and the mask of color torn away."

Church Women Explore Interracial Paths, Federal Council Bulletin, September-October, 1926
Pages 7-8 (front and back) removed from <em>Federal Council Bulletin</em>, September-October, 1926. The article, "Church Women Explore Interracial Paths," details an interracial conference held on September 21-22, 1926 at Eagles Mere, Pa.<br /><br />The conference was organized by the Commission on the Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churchs, the Council of Women for Home Missions, and the National Board of the Y.W.C.A. It was attended by delegates from numerous denominations and organizations. Adele Clark of Richmond, Va. attended representing the National League of Women Voters. <br /><br />The object of the conference, according to the chair Mrs. Richard W. Westbrook (Mary L. Westbrook), was<br /><br />"(1) To enlarge the scope of interracial thinking and to enlist the women of the churches more actively in plans and programs for improving the relations between the white and colored groups in America; <br />(2) To discuss methods of better interracial organization through churches and their auxiliaries so that women may more effectively act on local interracial conditions; <br />(3) To exchange concrete experiences from groups of women that have already attempted to carry out interracial programs;<br />(4) To study the past experience of organizations that have done such work, to learn both from the sucesses and failures of such efforts how best to proceed in the future;<br />(5) To understand better the present trend of feeling and opinion in race relations that the Churches may more effectively work for interracial goodwill and cooperation."<br /> <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Interracial+Conference+of+Church+Women" target="_blank" title="Documents related to the Interracial Conference of Church Women" rel="noreferrer noopener">See all documents</a> related to the conference.

Elihu Root Warns the South [anti-suffrage broadside]
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."

Hatenanny Records [American Nazi Party]
During the 1960s, George Lincoln Rockwell attempted to draw attention to the American Nazi Party (which he founded) by starting a small record label, named Hatenanny Records. The label released several 45 RPM singles, including recordings by a group credited as Odis Cochran and the Three Bigots, that were sold mostly through mail order and at party rallies.

Rockwell regarded folk musicians as communist sympathizers, race-mixers and "peace creeps." <br /><br />Bob Dylan mentions George Lincoln Rockwell in his <a href="http://bobdylan.com/songs/talkin-john-birch-paranoid-blues/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">"Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues."</a><br /><br />Side 1: "Ship Those Niggers Back" credited to Odis Cochran & Guitar with "The 3 Bigots" <br />copyright 1964 By G.L Rockwell Pary, Inc. #6409191<br /><br />Side 2: "We Is Non-Violent Niggers" credited to Odis Cochran & Guitar with "The 3 Bigots" copyright 1964 By G.L Rockwell Pary, Inc. #6409192

Here Comes Whiteman [American Nazi Party comic book]
White supremacist comic book created for the American Nazi Party by member John Patler. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />"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. <br /><br />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."
