Description:
Request by Sam Milgrom to "Rush brief report on IWO work in Negro Community for use in Negro History Week Bulletin."
Notes:
Shimshon (Samson, Sam) Milgrom was the IWO's long-time General Secretary (Director); by 1950 he faced a denaturalization and deportation order since he was born in Minsk.
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.
