Description:
Letter, stamped with the word "COPY" from City Councilmember Stanley Isaacs to Robert Moses, Commissioner of Parks, supporting Saltzman's letter requesting a monument to Sholem Aleichem, but not a statue.
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.
