Description:
Translated Summary: Letter from the JPFO to Dr. Joachim Prinz points out problems with the American Jewish Congress' proposed Klein-Javits "Group Libel Bill." Deplores the failure of the American Jewish Congress in failing to address same.
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.
