Description:
Telegraph to four Mid-Western cities asking for immediate confirmation of whether they are booking Nora Zhitlowsky's lectures for her upcoming tour.
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.
