- Addressed "To all districts." Recommends they hold a "Tuer-Shul" [Activist's School] during the month of April, on a weekend or on multiple evenings, separately in Yiddish and in English, getting the classes together once or twice as needed. Subject matters are broad: 20 years of the Order; Jewish unity; Israel; The fight for peace; Jewish-Black relations; Cultural life of the Order; Benefits of the Order [fraternalism, etc.].
- 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.
