15872KING Martin Luther. "Freedom Day . . . Come March with Dr. King!" Printed flier. February 22 1965. 8 1/2" x 5 1/4" inches. This flier was issued to advertise the Freedom Day event planned for March 1st 1965 which protested the voter suppression tactics targeting African-American citizens of the US. In this demonstration prospective voters led by Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lewis signed an "appearance book" to indicate their attempt to register. It is illustrated with a shackled hand grasping for the key to freedom--"The Vote." This demonstration followed the first Freedom Day of January 18th 1965 in which King and Lewis led 500 prospective voters to the Selma courthouse for registration who were subsequently turned away. The Freedom Day voter registration efforts were among the events leading up to the famed March from Selma to Montgomery. "Bloody Sunday" transpired the very next week after the events of this flier in which peaceful participants in a Selma to Montgomery march for voting rights were met by Alabama state troopers who attacked them with nightsticks tear gas and whips after they refused to turn back. Some protesters were severely beaten and bloodied while others ran for their lives; The entire incident was captured on national television. As a direct result of the Freedom Day demonstrations and especially the horror of Bloody Sunday the Voting Rights Act was signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on August 6 1965 with Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders present at the ceremony. Toning minor foxing. unknown books

Linschitz was "A scientist who directed a team working on the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos N.M. Henry Linschitz helped design and build the atomic bombs the United States dropped on Japan at the end of World War II and then he dedicated himself to persuading people that nuclear war should never be repeated." Boston Globe obit Dec 2014.<br/><br/>It is also inscribed on the flyleaf by Gerold Tenney Edith S. Tenney and Hester Babcock xT-4 with happy new year greetings January 1946. Gerold Tenney and Henry Linschitz were part of the Explosives Division at Los Alamos in the 1944-45 period. Gerold H. Tenney was Group X-1E Leader Charge Inspection. Henry Linschitz was Group X-1B Leader Terminal Observations. Edith Tenney was one of a group of women working at Los Alamos during this period - one reference has her listed as a nurse. Ms. Hester Babcock was issued a security badge at Los Alamos but a quick search turned up little more. The men involved with the Manhattan Project seemed to receive much more recognition for the work they did than the women or support staff something that ought to be rectified in this writer's opinion.
