About This Item
New York: NAACP, 1949. About very good.. Broadside, 11 x 8.5 inches. Old folds, short separations of crossfolds, minor toning. An offprint of an article printed in The Crisis, discussing the "old phrases," "name-calling," "angled 'news' stories," "half-truths" and "whole lies" being printed by the Communist Party in their mouthpiece, The Daily Worker. The object of this public attack, according to the NAACP, is to "discredit NAACP leadership", "tear the Association apart" and "take it over." This public fight between the NAACP and the Communist Party came in the midst of the Red Menace panic, and just two years after the initial hearings by the House Un-American Activities Committee. Previously, the two organizations had occasionally though somewhat uneasily worked together, most notably in the defense of the Scottsboro Boys in Alabama in the 1930s. Eventually the two groups split along ideological lines, as the NAACP attempted to work within the democratic system to ensure reforms and the Communists were committed to an all-out revolution of the American form of government. OCLC records just three institutional copies, at UC-Davis, Howard, and Northwestern.
