Description:
Seth Richardson of the "Loyalty Review Board" expressing the judgment in regard to the I.W.O that "mere membership alone would not, of itself be sufficient to determine disloyalty"
Notes:
The Jewish People’s Fraternal Order was the largest ‘national’ section of the International Workers Order (IWO) which focused on cultural awareness and celebration, mutual support especially in health insurance coverage, and anti-fascist activities. The IWO also gave particular emphasis to supporting the rights and interests of African Americans.
