1970List922Richmond Virginia and Milton Massachusetts 1970. Various formats generally near fine with light normal wear. Near Fine. Throughout his career Martin Luther King Jr. had to defend himself repeatedly over allegations of Communist-related activities and sympathies. His associations with several alleged communistes led the FBI to open an investigation in 1962 and his appearance at the Highlander Folk School led to a proliferation of material from far-right groups alleging that he had attended a "Communist Training School" with billboards showing a picture of King at the school appearing during the Selma-Montgomery March. <br /> <br /> Julia Brown was an FBI agent who according to her own book and lectures spent several years undercover as a member of the Communist Party in Cleveland. She made a career in the 60s writing and lecturing on the subject and in particular trying to tie King to Communism in various ways. Her book on the subject still attracts some readers who maintain that King was secretly a violent Communist whose true intentions were to divide the country. <br /> <br /> Collected here are four ephemeral examples relating to Brown's and others' anti-King efforts mostly from Richmond Virginia as follows:<br /> <br /> Printed broadside 8 ½ x 5 ½ inches entitled Richmond is Indebted to Julia Brown advertising Brown as being responsible for King cancelling two trips to Richmond due to Brown's lectures and encouraging people to attend another by her likely published by the Richmond Area T A C T Committee; printed handbill 8 ½ x 11 inches folded entitled Martin Luther King Memorial Bridge - Never alleging King to be a communist and published by the Action-by-Citizens Committee mid 1970s; small card measuring 3 ¾ x 2 ½ inches advertising a speech by Brown on "The Frightening Background of Martin Luther King" March 28 1968 in Richmond published by the American Opinion Library of Richmond; and an anti Martin Luther King Day two-sided handbill published by the Council on Domestic Relations in Milton Massachusetts likely in 1971 using Brown's likeness and essays on King to argue against the establishment of a national holiday in his honor. unknown books
186620537<p>Typical of the populist racism characterizing Democratic Party politics immediately after the Civil War this party ticket contains the names of local candidates for office including Brevet Brigadier General Benjamin Lefevre. A native Ohioan Lefevre served throughout the war entering politics when peace was declared but only after breaking an engagement with a Southern belle. He served as a congressman from Ohio throughout reconstruction.</p> <b>RECONSTRUCTION; RACISM.</b>Broadside. <i>"Democratic National Union - No Negro Suffrage"</i> Ohio 1866 3" x 11" 1 p. <br /> books
1916932Athol Ma 1916. Good plus. Broadside 16 x 5 inches. Previously folded. A couple of chips and small closed tears at edges. Even tanning. Rare broadside advertisement for a weekend engagement of D.W. Griffith's infamous silent epic The Birth of a Nation at Steinberg's Athol Opera House located in Athol Massachusetts. The broadside gives dates and times of screenings November 4-6 2:10 & 8:10 daily a list of cast and characters a lengthy discussion of Griffith's desire for historical accuracy in his work and a message about "the play's message of peace." To wit the broadside states that "If this graphic presentment serves no other purpose its message of universal peace marks it of great important. Morally and educationally it established the futility of armed conflict. But for the hatreds engendered in the Civil War the suffering of the Reconstruction period would never have been known." The film based on Thomas Dixon's 1905 novel The Clansman is often cited as the principal inspiration for the revival of the Ku Klux Klan in the 20th century. unknown books

186425614<p>The second in a series of four racist political cartoons published in 1864 by Bromley & Company which was closely affiliated with the Copperhead New York <i>World</i> newspaper. These prints sought to undermine Abraham Lincoln's chances for reelection by branding him as a "miscegenationist" and playing on white fears of "race-mixing." The cartoon scene pictures several interracial couples enjoying a day at the park eating ice cream discussing wedding plans and a woman's upcoming lecture. Two African American families have white employees a carriage driver and footmen and a babysitter.</p><p>The only other example traced at auction brought $7800 in 2010.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN. RACISM.</b>Print. "Miscegenation or the Millennium of Abolitionism." Political Cartoon. New York: Bromley & Co. 1864. 1 p. 20¾ x 13â… in.<p><br /></p><p>American politics had long played on fears of sexual relationships between races. A powerful new word for "race-mixing" was coined in an anonymous December 1863 pamphlet entitled <i>Miscegenation: The Theory of the Blending of the Races Applied to the American White Man and Negro</i> published in New York. Purporting to advocate the virtues of the "blending of the white and black races on this continent" it was a literary forgery prepared by <i>The World</i> managing editor David Goodman Croly and reporter George Wakeman. The authors were unsuccessful in their attempt to trick President Lincoln into endorsing the work.</p><p>At the far left of the image Abraham Lincoln declares "<i>I shall be proud to number among my intimate friends any member of the Squash family especially the little Squashes.</i>" The African American woman to whom he is speaking replies "<i>I'se 'quainted wid Missus Linkum I is washed far her 'fore de hebenly Miscegenation times was cum. Dont do nuffin now but gallevant 'round wid de white gem'men! he-ah! he-ah! he-ah!</i>"</p><p>Senator Charles Sumner says "<i>Mr. President! Allow me the honor of introducing my very dear friend Miss Dinah Arabella Aramintha Squash.</i>" A white carriage driver complains in the background "<i>Gla-a-ang there 240t! White driver white footmen niggers inside my heys! I wanted a situation when I took this one</i>" while a black man in the carriage tells his companion "<i>Phillis de_ah dars Sumner. We must not cut him if he is walking.</i>" A black woman at a table tells a white man with her "<i>Ah! Horace its-its-its-bully 'specially de cream</i>" and he replies "<i>Ah! my dear Miss Snowball we have at last reached our political and social Paradise. Isn't it extatic</i>"</p><p>To the right are two couples embracing each a white woman and an African American man. The first white women tells her partner "<i>Oh! You dear creature. I am so agitated! Go and ask Pa</i>" to which he replies "<i>Lubly Julia Anna name de day when Brodder Beecher shall make us one!</i>" The second white woman says "<i>Adolphus now you'll be sure to come to my lecture to morrow night won't you</i>" to which he answers "<i>I'll be there Honey on de front seat sure!</i>" In the background are various immigrant minorities viewing the scene. One exclaims "<i>Most hextwadinary! Aw neva witnessed the like in all me life if I did dem me!</i>" and another adds "<i>Mine Got vat a guntry vat a beebles!</i>" An Irish girl complains "<i>And is it to drag nagur babies that I left old Ireland Bad luck to me.</i>"</p><p>Manton Marble the editor of <i>The World</i> collaborated with printmaker Bromley & Company to issue a series of four anti-Lincoln "Political Caricatures." The present example was the No. 2 in that series. No. 1 was "The Grave of the Union or Major Jack Downing's Dream"; No. 3 "The Abolition Catastrophe Or the November Smash-up"; and No. 4 "The Miscegenation Ball."</p><p>Republicans responded by trying to turn the "miscegenation" charge against the Democrats. A Republican print "The Political "Siamese" Twins: The Offspring of Chicago Miscegenation" pictures McClellan and Pendleton joined together despite their very different ideas on ending the war.</p><p>Although Abraham Lincoln won New York states' electoral votes in 1860 Stephen Douglas had carried New York City and its environs. Financial elites fearing that civil war would ruin business and recent immigrants fearing competition with free black labor supported Douglas. Lincoln's unpopularity in New York City during the Civil War was a factor in the deadly 1863 Draft Riots.</p><p>In 1864 Lincoln again won the states' electoral votes while New York City favored his Democratic opponent McClellan. In fact Lincoln's majority dropped from 50136 votes in 1860 to only 7373 votes in 1864 with approximately 50000 more total votes cast than in 1860.</p><p>Bromley and Company continued to sell the caricatures after the election as this January 1865 advertisement from an Ohio newspaper makes clear. Another advertisement assured purchasers that the set of four prints available for $1 were "sent on wooden rollers to insure safe carriage."</p><p><b><i>The World</i></b> 1860-1931 a daily independent newspaper was published in New York City. Alexander Cummings founded it as a religious Republican outlet in 1860. August Belmont and others purchased it in 1862 changing the editorial focus. With editor Manton Marble 1834-1917 <i>The World</i> soon became the country's leading Democratic newspaper. In 1864 Union authorities shut down <i>The World</i>and another paper for three days after they published forged documents purportedly written by Lincoln that were really part of a hoax to manipulate the price of gold. The paper actively supported George B. McClellan against Lincoln in 1864.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Fine for exhibit despite flaws.
