Description:
Letter from Joseph Brainin, Acting Chairman, regarding a briefing to be held due to the return of B. Z. Goldberg from a year-long trip to Europe and Palestine.
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.
